Manipur HC amends 2023 order recommending ST status for Meiteis that led to clashes | Oneindia News

In a surprising turn of events, the Manipur High Court has revisited its March 2023 order and issued a modification that is set to have far-reaching implications.

During a review petition hearing on Wednesday, Justice Golmei Gaiphulshillu, presiding over a single-judge bench, took a decisive step by rescinding a paragraph from the March 27, 2023 order.

This paragraph, advocating for the inclusion of the Meitei community in the Scheduled Tribe list, has been at the center of a heated legal and social debate.
