The Supreme Court on Friday is likely to discuss the action taken over a video that showed two women being paraded on the streets by a mob as it hears five petitions linked to the Manipur violence.
Petitions pertaining to the situation in the northeastern state have been heard several times by the court between May 8 and July 17 – it took suo motu cognisance of the video on July 20. Most of these petitions, being heard by a bench of Chief Justice of India D Y Chandrachud, Justices P S Narasimha and Manoj Misra, have alleged a bias in the state machinery as the reason behind the state’s failure to restore normalcy in the northeastern state.
