New Delhi, November 15

The Supreme Court today made it clear that its October 10 and November 3 orders on the adoption of constitution and election of the Indian Olympic Association (IOA) executive committee has to be scrupulously implemented. On behalf of the Centre, General Tushar Mehta told a Bench led by Chief Justice DY Chandrachud that the IOA constitution drafted by Justice (retd) LN Rao has been adopted in the Annual General Meeting of the IOA and any amendments to it will be done with the express permission of the court.

After recording Mehta’s statement, the Bench disposed of the contempt petition filed by petitioner advocate Rahul Mehra alleging violation of the top court’s directions given in its October 10 and November 3 orders on adoption of the draft constitution and election of IOA executive committee on December 10.

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).
