Manipur violence | Appeal filed in Supreme Court against HC order at the centre of tensions

The Hindu  

Hill Areas Committee Chairperson and BJP MLA Dinganglung Gangmei has now filed a Special Leave Petition in the Supreme Court, challenging the March 27 order of the Manipur High Court on Scheduled Tribe status for the Meitei community, which is at the centre of escalating tensions in the State. In the SLP filed on Thursday, Mr. Gangmei, has argued through his lawyers, that the High Court order of March 27 had led to tensions escalating in the State over the issue, leading to the ongoing violence. He submitted that the High Court cannot direct the State government to submit any recommendation for inclusion of a community in ST list just because a representation exists. And while the Manipur High Court order has been challenged in the top court, the ATSUM along with other tribal associations are simultaneously preparing to approach a Manipur High Court Division Bench with a similar challenge to the March 27 order.
