SC seeks report from panel on deficiencies in Manipur relief camps

New Delhi, Jan 19 (UNI) The Supreme Court on Monday requested the three-member committee headed by former Chief Justice of the Jammu and Kashmir High Court, Justice Gita Mittal, to examine allegations of deficiencies in facilities at 14 relief camps sheltering internally displaced persons affected by ethnic violence in Manipur and submit a report within two months.
A bench comprising Chief Justice of India Surya Kant and Justices Dipankar Datta and Joymalya Bagchi was hearing a challenge to an order of the Manipur High Court, which had declined to entertain a public interest litigation seeking a probe into the living conditions at relief camps located in Churachandpur district.
During the hearing, the counsel for the petitioner submitted that the High Court refused to interfere on the ground that the Supreme Court was already seized of the matter.
