Churachandpur Bar Association Deems Meitei Judges in SC Team Unwelcome

Churachandpur District Bar Association has voiced its discontent ahead of a planned visit by a six-member Supreme Court delegation this weekend to Manipur. They declared that any judge belonging to the Meitei community would not be welcome in the predominantly tribal district. Justice N. Kotiswar Singh, from Manipur, is among the six judges scheduled to visit camps for the displaced in an effort to enhance legal and humanitarian assistance in the conflict-affected state. The bar association stated, “For the sake of peace and public order, your Lordships from the Meitei community are advised against entering our district, despite their inclusion in the agenda.”
