The All Manipur Bar Association (AMBA) has urged its Churachandpur district counterpart to withdraw its directive barring a Meitei judge of the Supreme Court from visiting the Kuki-Zo-dominated area.

The appeal comes ahead of a visit by a six-member Supreme Court delegation, including Justices B R Gavai, Surya Kant, Vikram Nath, M M Sundresh, K V Vishwanathan and N Kotiswar Singh, to the violence-hit north-eastern state on Saturday. The delegation is set to distribute relief materials in Churachandpur, a district affected by ethnic violence.

Justice N Kotiswar Singh, who is part of the delegation, belongs to the Meitei community. The AMBA has called on the Churachandpur Bar Association to welcome the judge’s visit, stressing that it is not politically motivated.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
