Imphal, March 17 2023:
Lunghar Village Authority secretary LW Vareiso has asserted that an order passed by District Judge Imphal East has expunged the 2019 order issued by Civil Judge Senior Division Imphal East granting ownership of Phangrei (Schedule B land) under Ukhrul district to Sihai village.
Speaking to media persons during a press conference held today at Manipur Press Club, LW Vareiso claimed that Phangrei had been declared as part of Lunghar village as per Tangkhul customary law in the past.
The issue of ownership of Phangrei had been a bone of contention between the two villages.
However, according to the latest judgement passed by the District Judge of Imphal East on February 23, Sihai village's ownership over Phangrei has been expunged, he said.
