Four Imphal-based lawyers have decided not to represent Hyderabad University Professor Kham Khan Suan Hausing in the Manipur High Court after being threatened by members of the Meitei community, one of the advocates told The Hindu on Saturday.
Mr. Hausing, a Kuki academic, who has been vocal about the alleged role of the State government in radicalising the Meitei community, is facing a private criminal case in Imphal filed by Meitei civilians for an interview he had given to a news website.
Mr. Hausing has already been protected by the Supreme Court through an interim order in the case. He had approached the High Court to quash the summons issued to him by the lower court in the above-mentioned case.
