Meitei judges in SC team ‘unwelcome’, says Churachandpur Bar association

Churachandpur District Bar Association struck a discordant note ahead of a six-member SC delegation’s proposed weekend visit to Manipur, saying any judge from the Meitei community was unwelcome in the tribal-majority district. Justice N. Kotiswar Singh from Manipur is among the six judges who are to visit camps for the displaced “to strengthen legal and humanitarian support” in the strife-ridden state. “Lordships belonging to the Meitei community, in the interest of peace and public order, shall not step into our district, even though their names appear in the programme,” the bar association said.
