The Manipur High Court Division Bench (Justices N. Kotiswar Singh and Laxmi Kanta Mohapatra) held Manipur Police Commandos and 23 Assam Rifles personnel responsible for the 28 December 2008 killing of 23-year-old a Leimakhong Mapal man at Huimei Ching foothill, Imphal East. The youth, abducted with a friend and later found bullet-riddled in the RIMS mortuary, was inferred to have been apprehended by the forces since the alleged encounter was not proved and no unlawful-organisation link was shown. The Court held his Article 21 right violated and awarded Rs 5 lakh constitutional-law compensation shared equally by the State and the Assam Rifles within four months.
