Manipur High Court modifies its order to include Meiteis in ST list that triggered violence in the state

Op India  

The Manipur High Court on 21 February removed its instruction to the Manipur Govt given last year that sparked the riots in the state which started in May 2023. Notably, para 17 of the High Court order on 27 March 2023 said, “The first respondent shall consider the case of the petitioners for inclusion of the Meetei/Meitei community in the Scheduled Tribe list, expeditiously, preferably within a period four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order in terms of the averments set out in the writ petition and in the line of the order passed in WP No. With this order last year, the High Court had asked the Manipur govt to consider the demand of granting ST status to the Meitei community and to submit a formal recommendation to the union government. The high court cited the Supreme Court order in the “State of Maharashtra V. Milind & Others” case from 2001, where it had said that “Courts cannot and should not expand jurisdiction to deal with the question as to whether a particular caste, sub-caste; a group or part of tribe or sub-tribe is included in any one of the Entries mentioned in the Presidential Orders issued under Article 341 and 342 particularly so when in Clause of the said Article, it is expressly stated that said orders cannot be amended or varied except by law made by Parliament.” The Supreme Court had said that such power rests solely with the Parliament, and courts can’t intervene in such matters. The review petition further added that they later discovered that the March 2023 order of the Manipur High Court is barred by the Supreme Court order.
