The Popular Front of India (PFI) has taken its case to the Supreme Court, contesting an Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) tribunal`s affirmation of a five-year ban imposed by the Indian government. The hearing, originally scheduled for today, was postponed after the petitioner requested an adjournment, according to a report by news agency ANI.
According to the report, the PFI`s petition challenges the UAPA tribunal`s March 21 order, which upheld the government`s decision on September 27, 2022, to ban the organization for five years. The ban was enacted on the grounds of alleged connections with global terrorist entities, including ISIS, and its purported involvement in promoting communal discord within the country.
