Manipur Violence Case : Live Updates From Supreme Court

Pasha: For public prosecutors, it should be law officers from other states.

SG: That would ensure that trial never ends.

Pasha: Not just a lack of trust but as per record there is also a selection bias and speed of progress bias for a certain section.

Pasha: They're calling it an SIT but it is selected by state...The allegations are against the state police- ranging from active participation to perpetration. The concern of selection doesn't get elevated if the selection is by state cadre. Selection should be by court.

SG: We have checked up, there are 11. But if there are more, we stand corrected. But this is an old list.

Pasha: No, this is updated. The names are redacted. The SG's office gave...

SG: My office never gives, your friend gave...

Adv Nizam Pasha: The updated list has 16 cases now (for cases to be investigated by CBI).

SG: That's the list they gave but what we have ascertained is 11.

Pasha: First 11 are those given earlier, 12-16 are FIRs I handed over, last one seems to be inadvertently left out.

Counsel: The police department is the number one department which flouts the directions of this court.

Counsel: The committee shall enquire and it should be headed by a retired hon'ble judge of this court.

AG: It is a very complicated situation.

Grover: I want my son's body...

SG: The DG tells me that he has numbers of nodal officers who will give the dead bodies. If there is any difficulty, we're here.

Jaising: One more thing - the question of dead bodies...

CJI: We're aware.

AG: There are too many interventions which prevent them from taking the dead bodies. An artificial situation is created to show unwillingness of govt.

Jaising: I am requesting for directions- the centre directs the state to put in place a system. There is an obligation cast on centre also to ensure that all states enact parliamentary laws in true spirit.

Jaising: This court threw attention to the provisions of the constitution and duty of state and centre.
