The High Court of Manipur, in collaboration with the Manipur State Legal Services Authority and the Manipur Judicial Academy, inaugurated a two-day State Level Conference on the ND&PS Act, Cyber Crime, and the three newly enacted criminal laws at the City Convention Centre, Imphal, today.
The inaugural session was graced by Chief Justice K. Somashekar as the Chief Guest, who highlighted the pressing need for deeper judicial understanding of evolving challenges in cybercrime, narcotics-related offences, and the transformative legal shift brought by the new criminal laws.
The gathering was also attended by Justice A. Bimol Singh, Justice A. Guneshwar Sharma, and Justice Golmei Gaiphulshillu, Director of the Manipur Judicial Academy.
Eminent legal luminaries, including Advocate General of Manipur Hijam Lenin Singh, Bar Council Chairman S. Brajabihari Singh, High Court Bar Association President N. Kumarjit Singh, and All Manipur Bar Association President Chakpram Bimolchandra Singh, joined as Guests of Honour.
The two-day conference aims to provide a platform for judges, lawyers, academicians, and law enforcement officials to deliberate on the legal, procedural, and social dimensions of narcotics-related crimes, fast-evolving cyber threats, and the practical implications of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, and Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, which came into effect in July 2024.
