The Supreme Court of India has ordered a probe into alleged extra-judicial killings in Manipur, directing the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to investigate the cases. The court's order was passed in response to a petition filed by the Extra-Judicial Execution Victim Families Association (EEVFAM) and the Human Rights Alert (HRA), which alleged that security forces had carried out extra-judicial killings in the state. The court observed that the allegations made by the petitioners were serious and required a thorough investigation. The CBI has been directed to investigate the cases and submit a report to the court within six months. The court's order has been welcomed by human rights groups, who have long been campaigning for justice for the victims of extra-judicial killings in Manipur. The probe is expected to shed light on the circumstances surrounding the alleged killings and will help to bring closure to the families of the victims. The court's decision has also highlighted the need for greater accountability and transparency in the actions of security forces in the state. The probe is a significant step towards ensuring that those responsible for the alleged killings are held accountable and that the rule of law is upheld in the state. The court's emphasis on the need for a thorough investigation has also underscored the importance of protecting human rights and preventing the abuse of power by security forces. Overall, the Supreme Court's order is a significant development in the pursuit of justice and accountability in Manipur and is likely to have a positive impact on the protection of human rights in the state.
