Imphal, April 01 2009:
The Gauhati High Court has given legal sanction to family members, friends, relatives and well-wishers to pay homage to the nine people killed by security forces on April 13,1982 .
The High Court issued a ruling in this regard on April 8 after hearing a petition filed by family members of the nine individuals, said Advocate N Surendrajit who appeared on behalf of the petitioners.
Speaking to media persons at Manipur Press Club here today, Surendrajit any one not complying with the ruling will face contempt of court.
The intimation of the Deputy Secretary (Home) to the Imphal West District Magistrate that only 112 relatives of the five slain individuals may be allowed to pay homage at Cheiraoching on April 13 was against the ruling given by Court, he observed.
As the court has granted permission, the family members appealed to the people to take part in paying homage to the departed souls.
