MANIPUR VIOLENCE - Ensure dignified disposal of unclaimed bodies: SC
The Morning Standard
|November 29, 2023
THE Supreme Court on Tuesday directed the Manipur government to ensure dignified burial or cremation of 94 unclaimed bodies lying in mortuaries in the northeastern state, where ethnic clashes had claimed several lives in May.
A bench headed by Chief Justice D Y Chandrachud said it would not be appropriate to keep the bodies indefinitely in the mortuaries. The bench issued the order after going through a report filed by the apex court-appointed all-women committee of former high court judges, headed by former chief justice of J&K High Court Gita Mittal.
