If the same women could turn up for the next trial date 23 November 2015 at Uripok Cheirap Court that would be a positive move. And if Irom Singhajit could apologize for his honor killing threat withdraw and return the money he was paid to make the threat that would be well let’s not ask for too much from Manipuris. Her next trial date in Imphal is 23 November 2015. Uripok Cheirap Court, Imphal. It’s under the flyover. People liviing in Imphal may now claim they don’t know where their court house is.
