A specially-designated tribunal on August 5 lifted the ban imposed by the Union Government on the activities of the Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI), reports PTI. Justice Geeta Mittal of the Delhi High Court, who headed the tribunal, held that there was no new evidence submitted by the Government against the SIMI to justify the extension of the ban. A senior law officer said that the Government only came out with the evidence of the Malegaon blasts in Maharashtra in 2006 to show the complicity of the organisation in unlawful activities which was not sufficient to come out with the notification to ban it. However, the Union Home Ministry (MHA) said it will challenge the order of the tribunal which lifted the ban. A MHA spokesperson said, "The ministry will examine the order of the specially-designated tribunal in detail and take remedial action on a priority basis."

The Supreme Court on August 6 stayed the order by the Special Tribunal quashing the Union Government’s February 7, 2008 notification declaring the Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI) an unlawful organisation, reports The Hindu. A Bench of the Supreme Court stayed the order on a mention made by Additional Solicitor-General Gopal Subramaniam about the Union Government filing a special leave petition against the lifting of the ban. The Bench, consisting of Chief Justice K.G. Balakrishnan and Justice A.K. Mathur, ordered notice to the SIMI seeking its response in three weeks. In his petition, Subramaniam said the tribunal, in its 264-page order passed on August 5, did not express anything on the merits of the case though the Government had provided Intelligence Bureau reports pointing to the involvement of SIMI members in terrorist activities. He said the tribunal had done something above the law and if the order was not stayed, it would result in serious consequences.

Indian Express reports that the Union Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) has asked the Uttar Pradesh Government to send details of the criminal cases pending against the Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI) and its activists. Police headquarters in State capital Lucknow said that it has received a letter in this regard. The Office of the Director General of Police (DGP) has, consequently, started compiling the details of the recent cases against the SIMI.

Police sources in Gujarat claimed that the Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI) leader Abul Bashar Qasmi who was arrested from Uttar Pradesh on August 16 for his involvement in the serial bomb blasts in Ahmedabad has "confessed" to his and his team’s involvement in the attack, reports The Hindu. According to Abhay Chudasma, Joint Commissioner of Police (Ahmedabad Crime Branch), Qasmi also confirmed the role of Sajid Mansuri, another arrested senior SIMI member, in the blasts. "We are questioning him on the details of other locals involved in the terror attack", Chudasma said. Police also suspect Qasmi and Sajid’s involvement in the Jaipur blasts. "We are still questioning Qasmi on the Jaipur link", Chudasma added. The police said Qasmi had taken over charge of the SIMI national network after the arrest of its leader Safdar Nagori and his brother Karimuddin Nagori in Indore in Madhya Pradesh in March 2008. Safdar and Karimuddin had originally planned the execution of the Ahmedabad blasts and to carry out bombings in Surat too.

The Union Government on August 20 filed a fresh affidavit in the Supreme Court, citing the involvement of the Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI) cadres in the recent bomb blasts in Ahmedabad in Gujarat, reports The Hindu. In its affidavit, the Government said investigations revealed that the accused in the bomb blasts in Ahmedabad and Surat on July 26 were members of the SIMI. Annexing the depositions made by witnesses, the Government further said intelligence sources and secret surveillance by the Police made it clear that the accused had nexus with international terrorist outfits. Further, these persons were persistently involved in more than one offence or other unlawful activities and the nature of activities indulged in by the outfit would show secessionist tendencies and the potential damage to the secular fabric of society. Annexing a list of over 350 terrorist-related cases registered in Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, Gujarat, Kerala, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Delhi, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, West Bengal since 2001 and the arrest of over 1,400 SIMI cadres, the Centre said that despite the ban, the outfit had continued with its activities and managed to keep its network alive clandestinely. The organisation was revived through the front outfits, Tahreek-e-Ehyaa-e-Ummat, Tehreek-Talaba-e-Arabia, Tehrik Tahaffuz-e-Sha`aire Islam and Wahadat-e-Islami. The Centre said the confessional statements of some of the accused revealed that SIMI cadres had secret meetings to mobilise Muslim youth to spread jihad in the entire Indian subcontinent especially in Gujarat, and that they had planned to wage a war against India by indoctrinating and training Muslim youth in the use of arms and ammunition. The court on August 6 stayed an order passed by the Special Tribunal, set up under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, quashing the Centre’s February 7 notification banning the SIMI. As the tribunal order has been stayed for three weeks, the matter is listed for further hearing on August 25.
