Delhi High Court Re-notifies PFI's Plea Challenging 5-Year Ban to April 4

News 18  

The Delhi High Court on Tuesday re-notified the plea filed by the Popular Front of India challenging the order of the Unlawful Activities Act or UAPA tribunal, which upheld the five-year ban imposed on the organisation by the central government for hearing to April 4. Additional Solicitor General Chetan Sharma had objected to certain grounds in the petition, calling for the “sanitization” of pleadings and cautioning against using the platform for “ramble-rousing.” Sharma had expressed concerns over the petition, characterising the ban as an “abuse of process,” “disgraceful,” and “tyrannical.” The court had directed the counsel for the petitioner to submit an application for striking off objectionable statements in the pleadings. On September 28, 2022, the central government, in the exercise of the powers conferred by Sub-section of Section 3 of the Unlawful Activities Act, 1967, declared the Popular Front of India and the other eight alleged affiliated fronts as “unlawful associations”. The Gazette by the Ministry of Home Affairs had said, “They have been pursuing a secret agenda to radicalise a particular section of the society working towards undermining the concept of democracy and show sheer disrespect towards the constitutional authority and constitutional set up of the country.” It had further stated that the PFI indulged in such unlawful activities that were prejudicial to the integrity, sovereignty, and security of the country and could potentially disturb communal harmony.
