The Supreme Court on Friday agreed to hear on October 30 a plea by the NIA challenging the Madras High Court order granting bail to eight accused in a case registered under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act against the alleged office bearers, members and cadres of Popular Front of India (PFI).
In its plea, the National Investigation Agency (NIA) has claimed PFI is a fundamentalist Islamic organisation and it was formed only to establish Muslim rule in India governed by sharia.
The plea was mentioned for urgent listing before a bench comprising Justices Sanjay Kishan Kaul, Sudhanshu Dhulia and Manoj Misra.
