Islamabad, July 26

Pakistan’s Supreme Court on Tuesday struck down Punjab Assembly deputy speaker’s controversial decision to reject 10 votes during the chief minister’s election as unconstitutional and named PML-Q leader Chaudhry Parvez Elahi as the new executive head of the politically crucial province, in a major setback to PM Shehbaz Sharif and the ruling coalition.

Elahi, who lost the election held on Friday despite getting a majority vote, challenged the ruling of deputy speaker Sardar Dost Muhammad Mazari who handed victory to Hamza, son of PM Sharif. Elahi was supported by ousted PM Imran Khan’s Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf party.

A three-member Bench comprising Chief Justice Umar Ata Bandial, Justices Ijazul Ahsan and Munib Akhtar ruled that 76-year-old Elahi is the new CM of Punjab province, in a boost to Imran Khan’s political fortune.

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).
