Supreme Court rejects PFI's plea against Centre’s ban

The Supreme Court on Monday rejected a plea filed by the Popular Front of India (PFI) challenging a ban on the organisation by the Union government.

In its observations, the SC also directed the PFI to approach the high court to appeal against a tribunal's judgement in which it upheld the government's decision to ban PFI and eight other organisations under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA).
