I, Pradip Phanjoubam, Editor, The Imphal Free Press hereby apologise on behalf of the newspaper, The Imphal Free Press to the Supreme Court and the Attorney General for the articles “Centre defends Manipur killings” (Imphal Free Press, December 4, 2015) and “RPF reacts to Attorney General’s testimony on extra judicial killings before SC” (Imphal Free Press, December 8, 2015). I accept that they contain factual inaccuracy and withdraw the comments and statements attributed to the Hon’ble Supreme Court and the Attorney General of India. The error was inadvertent and there was no intention to misreport court proceedings. I submit to be careful and exercise necessary precaution and verify any news reports relating to judicial proceedings.
