Chandigarh, August 10

Two days after a Mohali court rejected former DGP Sumedh Singh Saini’s anticipatory bail application in a corruption case, he moved the Punjab and Haryana High Court.

His plea for anticipatory bail, filed through counsel Himmat Singh Deol, is scheduled to come up for hearing on Wednesday before Justice Avneesh Jhingan’s Bench. Rejecting Saini’s plea, the Mohali court had observed that the case was registered after a detailed inquiry was conducted by the VB on Joint Director’s complaint and was based on certain documents. Saini has all along been claiming false implication. — TNS

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).
