The Punjab and Haryana High Court has suspensed judicial officer Rajeev Goyal, presently posted as Additional District and Sessions Judge, Kaithal, with immediate effect. Earlier posted as Special Judge, CBI Court, Panchkula, Goyal decided several significant matters.

Among others, he had on April 20 discharged judicial officer Sudhir Parmar in a corruption case. The decision to place Goyal’s services under suspension was taken during the full court meeting attended by the Chief Justice and Judges of the high court in contemplation of initiation of disciplinary proceedings against him.

THE TRIBUNE, India’s oldest, daily English-language newspaper, was first published on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan), and save for 40 days in the immediate aftermath of Partition, has come out every day over the last 145 years. THE TRIBUNE was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist of the time. The newspaper is run by a five-member Trust, which is chaired by Shri N N Vohra, former Governor of J&K State (2008-2018); as well as Justice S S Sodhi, former Chief Justice of the Allahabad High Court; Shri Gurbachan Jagat, former Governor of Manipur; Lt Gen. Shamsher Singh Mehta, former Western Army Commander; Shri Paramjit Singh Patwalia, Senior Advocate in the Supreme Court.

THE TRIBUNE is free, objective, and independent. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language, are the hallmarks of the paper.

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