NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court on Monday refused to entertain a plea challenging a decision of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Tribunal, which had upheld the extension of ban on the Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI).
A Bench of Justices Vikram Nath and Sandeep Mehta questioned the maintainability of the special leave petition (SLP) filed by Humam Ahmad Siddiqui, a former member of the banned “unlawful association”.
“Why are you (Siddiqui) here? Let the organisation come!” remarked the Justice Nath-led Bench, questioning the locus standi of the petitioner.
