Summary
- The Manipur High Court has ordered the census exercise in the State to remain on hold until April 30, 2027, while directing the Registrar General to consider seven representations.
- The Court appreciated the fair approach taken by both the Centre and State, emphasizing that this matter should not be treated as a typical adversarial legal case.
- House-listing operations for Census 2027, initially set to begin on September 1, 2026, will be postponed, allowing for public consultations and further representations until November 25, 2026.
- This decision could significantly impact the timeline and execution of census operations in Manipur, with potential legal challenges expected after the Registrar General's speaking order.
