Gita Mittal Committee

September 27, 2023

Faced with myriad complaints and grievances from petitioners in the Manipur ethnic violence case, the Supreme Court said it could not run the State administration, and petitioners had to trust the Justice Gita Mittal Committee to do its job.
The issues raised by various petitioners, and to begin with, the committee itself, included distribution of Aadhaar cards and disability certificates to the displaced people of the State, to distribution of compensation to the families of the dead, reconstruction of religious buildings and homes destroyed in the clashes, disposal of bodies to functioning of courts in the State.
The Justice Mittal Committee was constituted by the apex court to intervene and monitor relief and rehabilitation, restoration of homesteads, religious places of worship, etc, in Manipur.
- CJI had said the committee, through its work, would endeavour to re-instill the Manipur people’s belief in the rule of law.
