Manipur Violence Case : Live Updates From Supreme Court

CJI: Adequate security may be granted to the three women judges in the committee.

SG: Yes my lords, will take care.

Jaising: Your lordships may say that this investigation is being monitored by the Supreme Court. That's a very normal formula adopted.

SG: One thing may be clarified- my learned friend carelessly said "no officers from the state"...No aspersions may be casted on police.

CJI: We don't want to cast any aspersions on any officer. It may be premature for us today to direct shifting of trial.

CJI: The three members of the committee will be- Justice Gita Mittal (former CJ of J&K HC), Justice Shalini Joshi, Justice Asha Menon. And the IPS officer will be

Mr Dattatray Padsalgikar. He's a highly decorated officer- was in NIA too, went to nagaland as well.

SG: By way of a clarification, when we talk about CBI, CBI has no permanent... they're all on deputation so all will be on deputation only.

CJI: These SITs should be supervised by DIG ranked officers from outside Manipur. Each officer will monitor 6 SITs to see that investigation is going correctly.

CJI: There will be 42 SITs looking at cases which have not been transferred to CBI.

CJI: We're going to add one more later of scrutiny. I've already identified officers- we have identified a former IPS officer who has wide experience in investigation- this is not an SIT but an additional oversight to report back to us.

CJI: There will be 5 officers of atleast the rank of DySP, brought into the CBI from various states. These officers will also be functioning within the four corners of infrastructure and administrative structure of CBI.

CJI: On investigation, there are 16 FIRs to be transferred to CBI- maybe 11,12 doesn't matter. We have transferred to CBI. We're not gonna supplant CBI. At the same time, for there to be faith, we're not casting any aspersions on CBI otherwise we would have transferred -
