Recently, another judge of the Court, Justice K Haripal, had in strong and absolute terms, stated that organisations like the Social Democratic Party of India (SDPI) and Popular Front of India (PFI) are extremist organsations.
“No doubt, SDPI and PFI are extremist organisations indulging in serious acts of violence. All the same, those are not banned organisations”, the Court had said.
The Court had said so in an order declining to order a CBI probe into the alleged political killing of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) member, A Sanjith.
The Court also observed that it is a common occurrence for SDPI and PFI members to be behind attacks on RSS members because of prolonged clashes between the groups.
“It is the common case that activists of the SDPI/PFI were behind the attack. There were clashes between the activists of the SDPI/PFI on the one hand and activists of the RSS on the other. There are series of attacks and counter attacks between them,” the judgment said.
Further, it noted that even after Sanjith was murdered, the clashes between the groups have shown no signs of abating.
“This Court takes judicial notice of the fact that even after this incident, after completing arguments in this case, two such incidents have happened in Palakkad. Consequently, one person each of the rival groups have been killed,” the Court said.
