He said that the original proscription order made on September 20, 2017, was a valid one and said the group's application to vacate it was unmeritorious and deserved to be dismissed.
Justice Kafarati noted that the issuance of the proscription, which he ordered, was in accordance with the provisions of the Terrorism Prevention Act.
