New Delhi: The Delhi High Court's special tribunal constituted to
examine the sixth ban on the Students Islamic Movement of India
(SIMI) Wednesday upheld the measure.
Headed by Delhi High Court Judge V.K. Shali, the tribunal
submitted a report to home ministry upholding the ban. The order
came after the home ministry issued a notification in February
extending the ban on SIMI by two years.
SIMI has links with Pakistan-based terrorist outfits including
Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) and its front, Indian Mujahideen, officials
say.
The ban order had been upheld five times after mandatory scrutiny
by a tribunal. Only on one occasion, in 2008, the tribunal had
quashed the ban, but the Supreme Court stayed this.
The central government had first declared SIMI an unlawful
association on Sep 27, 2001 and then consecutively in September
2003 and February 2006.
