It provides unrestrained power to restrict entry and exit of non-indigenous people, plea says
The Supreme Court on Monday asked the Union and the Manipur governments to respond to a plea challenging the Inner Line Permit (ILP) system in the State.
Manipur is the fourth State after Arunachal Pradesh, Nagaland and Mizoram where the ILP regime is applicable. Outsiders, including people from other States, need permission to visit them.
A Bench of Justices S. Abdul Nazeer and Krishna Murari issued notices on a plea filed by an organisation called “Amra Bangalee”.
