SC notice to Centre, Manipur govt on plea challenging ILP in state

New Delhi:  The Supreme Court on Monday sought responses from the Centre and the Manipur government on a plea challenging the system of Inner Line Permit (ILP) in the state.

Manipur is the fourth state after Arunachal Pradesh, Nagaland and Mizoram where the ILP regime is applicable. To visit ILP-regime states, outsiders, including people from other states of the country, need permission.

A bench of justices SA Nazeer and Krishna Murari issued the notices to the Centre and the Manipur government and others on a plea filed by an organisation called ‘Amra Bangalee’.
