Saying that he fully understands about the way Chief Minister of Manipur O Ibobi has approached him for more Judges for the Manipur High Court, he assured that possible efforts will be made on behalf of the Government of India to augment both physical and human resources in order make the new High Court of the state functional as per sentinel of law.

Pledging that he will ensure satisfaction of the Chief Minister and Chief Justice of the Manipur High Court, Ashwani said he expects justice will be rendered, vindicate and validate to the people of Manipur under their dynamic leadership.
