Acting on a petition filed by Dera Sacha Sauda chief Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh for handing over the 2015 sacrilege matter to the Central Bureau of Investigation for probe, the Punjab and Haryana High Court today stayed proceedings related to him in the matter. The order comes as a reprieve to Ram Rahim.

Justice Vinod Bhardwaj of the high court also referred the matter to a larger Bench after formulating certain questions of law related to the probe in the case and certain other connected issues. The detailed judgment was not yet available. The trial of these cases was earlier pending before a court in Faridkot. But the apex court directed that the trial against Ram Rahim and seven others in three inter-linked cases of sacrilege would to be transferred from Faridkot to Chandigarh.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
