NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court on Wednesday stayed the controversial order of a special tribunal lifting ban on activities of the Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI). ( Watch )
A petition challenging the tribunal's verdict was mentioned before the bench headed by Chief Justice K G Balakrishnan, which agreed with the Centre seeking a grant of interim stay.
The Court issued a notice to the SIMI and posted the matter for hearing after three weeks.
The tribunal headed by Delhi High Court judge, Justice Geeta Mittal, had on Tuesday quashed the February 7 notification issued by the government extending the ban on SIMI under the Unlawful Activities (prevention) Act.
The Tribunal had held that the Centre has failed to come up with any new evidence to justify the ban on the organisation.
