The Manipur Courts Second Amendment Act, 1995 is a state law that updates judicial designations within the court system of Manipur. It amends the Manipur Courts Act, 1955 by formally replacing the traditional titles of certain judicial officers with standardized terms. Specifically, officers previously titled Subordinate Judges are renamed Civil Judges Senior Division, and those known as Munsiffs are renamed Civil Judges Junior Division. This law applies to the judicial administration and judges in Manipur. It matters because it modernizes judicial nomenclature to align with national court structures, ensuring clarity and uniformity in legal designations without changing the actual authority or responsibilities of these judges.
