  "summary": "The Supreme Court of India has directed the Gauhati High Court Chief Justice to consider establishing two special courts to expedite trials of cases related to the 2023 ethnic riots in Manipur. The bench, comprising Chief Justice of India Surya Kant, Justice Joymalya Bagchi, and Justice V Mohana, also requested the Justice Gita Mittal Committee to verify claims that nearly 24,000 affected families are yet to receive benefits under government schemes. The court, which is monitoring the progress of cases registered by the NIA and CBI, noted that of a total of 904 witnesses in CBI cases, 891 remain to be examined. The bench requested the Chief Justice of the Gauhati High Court to consider the feasibility of allowing the CBI/NIA court to exclusively deal with Manipur-related cases.",
