Can’t let proceedings be used for escalating violence in Manipur: Supreme Court

Hindustan Times  

Disapproving any endeavour to convert the proceedings before it into a platform for fuelling further violence in Manipur, the Supreme Court on Monday observed that it cannot run the security apparatus in the riot-hit state and that it is chiefly for the government to maintain law-and-order while the court can only act as a “facilitator”. Read here: 142 killed till July 4 in Manipur clashes: Centre informs Supreme Court A bench, led by Chief Justice of India Dhananjaya Y Chandrachud, was hearing a clutch of public interest litigations, demanding a spate of orders ranging from investigation into the ethnic clashes that has overrun the state since early May claiming at least 130 lives, to ordering deployment of additional security forces. You give us some suggestions and we will ask the Centre and the state to consider them.” Responding, Gonsalves said that he was “sceptical” since the violence against the tribals has witnessed a constant rise despite the pendency of the case before the apex court, but the bench retorted: “Your scepticism cannot lead us to take over law-and-order machinery nor can the high court do it. On July 7, the high court ordered the state government to carry out “physical trials” of partially restoring internet services in the state, where data services have been snapped since ethnic clashes broke out on May 3, appearing to agree to a suggestion by an expert panel to restart a severely restricted form of connectivity.
