Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court dismissed the writ petitions filed by police personnel of Manipur Police under Article 32 of the Constitution, which sought to quash oral observations made in the case of Extra-Judicial Execution Victim Families Association v. Union of India. The Court held that the right to know the truth regarding allegations of extra-judicial executions is significant, and the petitions lacked merit. The Court also denied the interlocutory applications for recusal, affirming its authority to continue with the ongoing mandamus proceedings.
