The Supreme Court is considering whether former Manipur CM N Biren Singh’s voice sample should be taken to verify an edited audio clip linked to the 2023 Manipur violence. The Court asked forensic experts what more is needed to confirm the authenticity of the recording.
The Manipur High Court reversed its decision to add the Meitei community to the Scheduled Tribe list, citing Supreme Court precedent. The controversial directive, which led to unrest and casualties, was removed following a review plea.
