Supreme Court seeks forensic report on alleged Biren Singh audio clip on Manipur violence: Report

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.

At the start of the hearing, justice Kumar informed the parties that he had attended a dinner hosted by the Manipur CM when he was elevated to the Supreme Court (in February 2023).
