Monika case to be filed in SC

Imphal, Aug 25 : The Monika Devi issue is all set to find its voice in the country’s highest court, the Supreme Court of India in a couple of days time.

Disclosing this to Newmai News Network on Sunday, Deban, a member of Co-ordinating Committee Against the Conspiracy to Exclude Monika Devi from the Beijing Olympics, said that the committee would file a writ petition at the Supreme Court with regard to the Monika Devi’s sad incident for which the team may leave Imphal for New Delhi on Monday, August 25.
Deban further stated that full preparation has been done to bring justice in this regard.The member also said that legal experts in the Supreme Court have been contacted by the team and it is only the matter of time that justice would be delivered to weight-lifter from Manipur Monika Devi.

Deban then said that the team will also “see” the ongoing enquiry of Khrishnamurthy on the Monika Devi case.

It is pertinent to note that weight lifter from Manipur L.Monika Devi was barred from boarding the flight to Beijing carrying Indian Olympic team at the eleventh hour on the doping charge but the controversy was cleared and Monika Devi was given green signal to go to Beijing only to be informed few hours later that it was too late.

Manipur erupted and numerous forms of agitation followed called by several organisations. Condemnations from both hills and the valley echoed alike while strongly voicing against the exclusion of Monika Devi from the Beijing Olympics.
