LIBEL FINE OF £11,250
INDIAN EXTREMIST PAPER (United Service) DELHI, Thursday. The Indian extremist journal “Forward,” published at Calcutta, which last July on the occasion of the deliberate derailment of an express train outside Calcutta, with heavy casualties, published a letter by an alleged eye-witness, stating that wounded Indian passengers were murdered by a breakdown gang at the instance of European officials, has been sentenced to pay 150,000 rupees (about £11,250) damages for criminal libel. The suit was not defended. The copy of the letter could not be traced.
