New Delhi, Feb. 4 -- The Supreme Court on Monday directed the Central Forensic Science Laboratory (CFSL) to submit a report on leaked audio tapes allegedly featuring Manipur chief minister N Biren Singh, in which he is purportedly heard saying that the ethnic violence in the state was instigated at his insistence.
A bench of Chief Justice of India (CJI) Sanjiv Khanna and justice Sanjay Kumar sought the report in a sealed cover, while also indicating that it would assess whether the Supreme Court or the Manipur high court should hear the matter.
"The state is limping back now. We have to also see if this court should hear this matter or the high court should," CJI Khanna remarked. P11
