UAPA Tribunal Upholds Centre’s Ban on Tehreek-e-Hurriyat and Muslim League J&K
A tribunal established under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) has upheld the Centre’s decision to impose a five-year ban on the Muslim League Jammu Kashmir (Masarat Alam faction) and Tehreek-e-Hurriyat, Jammu and Kashmir.
Delhi High Court judge Sachin Datta, serving as the sole member of the tribunal, was appointed under the stringent anti-terror law in January to determine whether there was “sufficient cause” for the imposition of the ban.
Additional Solicitor General Aishwarya Bhati and advocate Rajat Nair represented the government before the tribunal.”
The Muslim League Jammu Kashmir (Masarat Alam faction) was outlawed for five years by the government under the UAPA on December 27, 2023, citing involvement in anti-national and secessionist activities in the Union Territory.
Tehreek-e-Hurriyat, founded by the deceased separatist leader Syed Ali Shah Geelani, was similarly banned for five years on December 31, 2023, for allegedly promoting terrorism and disseminating anti-India propaganda in Jammu and Kashmir.
