Digital Desk: Chief Justice of India (CJI) D.Y. Chandrachud announced on August 7 in open court that the Supreme Court will appoint an all-women committee of three former High Court judges, led by Justice Gita Mittal, a former Chief Justice of the Jammu and Kashmir High Court, to provide the "healing touch" in violence-torn Manipur.
Justice Shalini Phansalkar Joshi, a retired Bombay High Court judge, and Justice Asha Menon, a former Delhi High Court judge, would be other members of the broad-based committee.
"This will be a broad-based committee that will be formed to supervise, intervene, and monitor relief and rehabilitation, restoration of homesteads, religious places of worship, better relief work, and so on," CJI Chandrachud, heading a three-judge Bench, said.
Chief Justice Chandrachud further stated that the court intends to appoint retired Maharashtra cadre IPS officer Dattatray Padsalgikar, who previously worked for the National Investigation Agency, the Intelligence Bureau, and in Nagaland, to monitor the overall investigation of charges filed during the unrest. Between May and July, over 6,500 First Information Reports (FIR) were filed in Manipur.
The Manipur government, represented by Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, stated that 11 FIRs alleging crimes against women and children, including the Thoubal sexual abuse event, had been transferred to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI).
The State government has constituted 42 Special Investigation Teams (SIT) to handle the remaining cases, which would be handled by the Manipur Police.
However, the apex Court stated that it wanted outside eyes to monitor the State Police investigation into these cases, which involve serious offenses such as murder and arson.
The Supreme Court announced that it would direct the DGPs of six states to appoint six DIG rank officers. These DIG officials would be in charge of six SITs each and would monitor their activities.
Similarly, the court stated that the probe would be monitored through numerous stages.
In the matter of the 11 FIRs, the court stated that it will appoint five Deputy Superintendents of Police/Superintendents of Police-level personnel from different states to the CBI.
"They will be nominated by their state DGPs. They will be deputed to the CBI. They will conduct the investigation under the supervision of a CBI Joint Director," the Chief Justice said.
According to a recent State Government status report, there were 150 deaths, including 59 deaths between May 3 and May 5. Another 28 people died between May 27 and May 29. On June 9, thirteen additional people were killed in the fighting.
According to the report, 502 individuals were injured in the clashes. There were 5,107 cases of arson. It stated that 252 people had been arrested, with an additional 12,740 arrested as a preventative measure.
