In a significant legal development, two tribunals of the Delhi High Court have affirmed the ban on two Kashmir-based organizations, the Awami Action Committee (AAC) and the Jammu and Kashmir Ittihadul Muslimeen (JKIM), by the Central government.
The tribunals, under the leadership of Justice Sachin Datta, concluded that there was enough evidence to classify these groups as unlawful associations under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, 1967. The decision was made after a thorough examination of the evidence presented.
According to the Union Home Ministry's statement from March 11, these organizations were engaged in activities detrimental to the nation's integrity, sovereignty, and security. They were reportedly involved in raising funds for unlawful purposes, including support for secessionist and terrorist endeavors in Jammu and Kashmir.
