For decades after Manipur became a state, it had no High Court of its own — cases went to Gauhati, hundreds of kilometres away. That changed only in March 2013, when Manipur, Meghalaya and Tripura all got independent High Courts within days of each other, carved out of Gauhati's old territory by the same piece of legislation.
