Tribunal lifts ban on SIMI

New Delhi: A Special Tribunal on Tuesday lifted the ban imposed by the Centre on the activities of the Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI) saying there was no fresh evidence to justify the extension of the measure first clamped in 2001.

The order by Justice Geeta Mittal of the Delhi High Court, who headed the specially-designated tribunal, came at a time when there is speculation of SIMI role in the serial blasts in Ahmedabad and Bangalore. The ban has been extended thrice.

The judge held that the Centre had given no new evidence against SIMI to warrant the extension of the ban and asked the Centre to justify the measure, a top law officer said. The government, however, maintains that the outfit is still unlawful. — PTI
