Manipur govt. yet to take a position in court case on inclusion of Meiteis in ST list

The Hindu  

As ethnic clashes continue between the Meiteis and the Kuki-Zomi people in Manipur, the State government is yet to take a position on whether Meiteis should be recommended for Scheduled Tribe status, according to submissions made on Tuesday before a Division Bench of the Manipur High Court at Imphal. The Division Bench of Justices Ahanthem Bimol Singh and A. Guneshwar Sharma on Tuesday heard the appeal against a March 27 single-judge Bench order of the High Court, which directed the State government to recommend Meiteis for inclusion on the ST list. The Union Tribal Affairs Ministry, represented through a Deputy Solicitor General of India, informed the court on Tuesday that it would not be filing any objection against the appeal. The MTU was the organisation that first approached the Manipur High Court, seeking a direction for their recommendation for inclusion on the ST list.
