Supreme Court heard case of leaked audio tapes purportedly of N Biren Singh
New Delhi:
The Supreme Court has sought a report from the government forensic laboratory CFSL on leaked audio tapes purportedly of Manipur Chief Minister N Biren Singh, who a petitioner of the Kuki tribes alleged instigated the Manipur violence.
At the beginning of the hearing today, Justice PV Sanjay Kumar asked whether he should recuse from the hearing as he recently attended a dinner hosted by the Manipur Chief Minister.
In response, the petitioner’s lawyer Prashant Bhushan said Justice Kumar need not recuse himself.
“No, not one bit,” Mr Bhushan said.
