In case the Centre insisted, the state would ask the Centre on what conditions the cases could be withdrawn, Singh told newspersons in Imphal on Thursday.
The NSCN (I-M) had indulged in large-scale extortion, looting and other unlawful activities along the Manipur stretch of the Imphal-Dimapur-Guwahati national highway, he said.
The chief minister said the Manipur government had issued an arrest warrant against Muivah in April 1994 and announced a cash reward of Rs 300,000 on his (Muivah) arrest or any information leading to his capture.
The warrant is still in force, he said.
Meanwhile, an all-party meeting in Imphal on Thursday decided to urge Prime Minister A B Vajpayee to initiate steps for making the present Centre-NSCN (I-M) peace talks transparent in view of the Naga outfit's merger demand.
The NSCN (IM) has reportedly demanded merger of some hill regions of Manipur with neighbouring Nagaland.
Ibobi Singh said he would lead an all-party delegation to meet the prime minister and other central leaders in this regard.
