The Manipur High Court has ordered the Census 2027 in the state to remain suspended until April 30, 2027, due to concerns about the accuracy of population records and the identification of internally displaced persons following ethnic violence. The court directed the Registrar General and Census Commissioner of India to consider seven representations and issue a reasoned order by April 30, 2027. The existing notifications suspending the census exercise will remain in force until then. The court also allowed additional representations to be submitted by November 25, 2026, and directed that the final decision be communicated to the petitioners' lawyers and uploaded to the official websites of the Manipur government and the Census Commissioner.
