IMPHAL, Jan 22 : The High Court for Manipur will be coming up shortly with four judges as approved earlier by the Government of India. This was informed to IFP by president of High Court Bar Association, Manipur (HCBAM), Sr Advocate N Kumarjit. He further said that almost all the establishment works of the Manipur High Court have been completed and it will start functioning shortly.
Patna High Court Senior Judge Meenakumari will be the Chief Justice of the Manipur High Court. The official processes for her appointment as the Chief Justice has also been completed.
A meeting of the association was held today at its office at 1 pm presided by himself where the delegation of the association, who went to Delhi to meet the Union Minister of Law and other concerned officials, presented the detailed report of their meeting with the Minister, Kumarjit said.
The meeting lauded Chief Minister O Ibobi for lobbying their demands at various levels in Delhi, he said and added that the meeting also appreciates the Union Minister of Law for giving his assurance that the required judges will be appointed later when the need arises in the Manipur High Court.
However, until their demands that no Judge from the Common Gauhati High Court can be absorbed in the High Court of Manipur except the two elevated from Manipur and to let the High Court of Manipur be installed as a High Court, consisting of seven Judges for rendering effective administration of Justice are turned into action, the association will not completely back off from their agitation, the HCBAM president added.
