Chandrachud on September 22 opted to wait a “little bit” before seeking a status report from Dattatray Padsalgikar, former Maharashtra Director General of Police, who was appointed by the Supreme Court to supervise the CBI probe into 11 cases of crimes committed against women and children in the Manipur ethnic violence. Meanwhile, the Manipur government, represented by Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, handed over to the court a confidential status report on the stolen or missing weapons and ammunition used in the violence. During the previous hearing, the Chief Justice had said the court was seeking information about the illegal weapons and their recovery to “deal objectively with the fact that the State has to take action, irrespective of the source where these illegal arms are situated”. Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, for Manipur, said the court-appointed Justice Gita Mittal Committee had already taken cognisance of the issue and the State was “taking steps” in this regard.
