In a decisive move, two judicial tribunals, led by a Delhi High Court judge, have sanctioned the ban on two Jammu and Kashmir-based pro-Pakistan groups. Both groups, including the Tehreek-e-Hurriyat founded by the late separatist leader Syed Ali Shah Geelani, have been labeled unlawful under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act.
On June 22, the tribunal confirmed the outlaw status of Tehreek-e-Hurriyat, reinforcing the government's initial declaration from December 31, 2023. The tribunal was formed on January 16, 2024, with Justice Sachin Datta presiding over the proceedings.
Similarly, the Muslim League Jammu Kashmir (Masarat Alam faction) faced the same fate, with a separate tribunal upholding its illegal status on June 22, 2024. These measures mark a substantial step in the Indian government's crackdown on separatist and extremist organizations in the region.
