The Manipur High Court has granted permission to tribal bodies in Manipur to appeal the order concerning the inclusion of the Meitei community in the Scheduled Tribe (ST) category. This decision has significant implications for the state’s socio-political landscape, as it pertains to the recognition and rights of various tribal communities. The appeal will likely lead to a thorough examination of the matter and its potential consequences, shaping future policies and provisions for these communities in Manipur.
