This was stated by the counsel for the petitioners P Tamphamani Singh at a press conference held at Manipur Press Club today.

However, it so happened that the State Government authorities from time to time restrained the petitioners, relatives, friends and other well wishers from performing such ritual ceremony by issuing prohibitory orders.

He further said that for this year the petitioners submitted representations dated 25-11-2014 and 10-3-2015 to the respondent number one (Principal Secretary, Home, Government of Manipur) praying for allowing to perform the ritual ceremony on the day. The High Court of Manipur disposed an order date 7-4-2015 in W.P (C) No. 330 of 2015 to allow on the day without any hindrance w.e.f. 6 am to 4 pm.

A relative of decease person appealed to all section of society, volunteers of clubs, meira paibis, student to attend the floral tribute ceremony to commemorate the deceased person, and also appealed to all against calling bandhs, general strikes, blockades etc, on this said day and not to give any hindrances or disturbances to the well-wishers who come for the floral tribute.
