Supreme Court asks Gauhati High Court to consider exclusive courts for Manipur violence cases
Politics·Short term

Gauhati High Court will approve two exclusive Manipur courts, forcing faster witness examination and earlier trial dates.

A dedicated-courts push is a direct attempt to unclog prosecutions and restore credibility to the justice and relief pipeline after prolonged delays. The witness backlog and benefits verification order signal rising judicial pressure on both investigation throughput and rehabilitation delivery.

Curated summary

The Supreme Court asked the Gauhati High Court to examine setting up two exclusive courts for Manipur violence cases—one for CBI matters and one for NIA matters. It also asked Justice Gita Mittal’s committee to verify claims that nearly 24,000 affected families have not received government benefits. Reviewing probe progress, the bench noted that 891 of 904 CBI witnesses remain to be examined; the Centre said the CBI has investigated 31 cases and the NIA 30 cases, with chargesheets filed in 22 and 15 cases respectively.
