In fact, while hearing a petition on September 25, the Supreme Court had said that the religious buildings of the state should be protected from encroachment and damage or destruction.
The Manipur government should ensure that the properties of displaced people and those damaged in the violence are protected and encroachment is stopped.
The Supreme Court had directed that the government should order such people to give up their possession of others’ property.
If even after this people do not leave the illegal occupation, then action can be taken against them on charges of contempt of the Supreme Court order.
