the learned counsel for the appellant in this case, there was no
record produced to prove the membership. But, the evidence of the
appellant himself is that during the war they themselves voluntarily
surrendered before Sri Lankan Army and got the tender of pardon
from Srilankan Government and thereafter, they came to Tamil
Nadu. Therefore, it is implied from the above statement of the
appellant, he was member of the LTTE organization and after

9.The learned counsel for the appellant also submitted that,
the prosecution agency has not produced any material to prove any
Terrorist act, on the part of the appellant. This Court is unable to
subscribe to the said argument, when the material produced show
their intention to revive the LTTE organization in Sri Lanka, this
Court finds ingredients of the offence are made out. The latest
Hon'ble Three Judges Bench of the Supreme Court on reference
answered in the case of Arup Bhuyan v. State of Assam, reported in
2023 (8) SCC 745 i.e. to pass conviction, he should be the member of
the organization and he continue in the illegal activities. In this case,
the membership is proved from the circumstances and he continued
the illegal activities by sending the incriminating material to Sri
Lanka to revive the LTTE organization. Hence, both ingredients are
made out in the peculiar circumstances of the case. The object of
Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, is to curtail any form of the

Act. Therefore, this Court having considered the incriminating
material collected by investigating agency and going through the
entire materials holds that the intention of the appellant is to revive
the LTTE organization and it is clearly proved beyond reasonable
doubt. It is admitted fact that the LTTE organization is banned by
the Union Government in such situation, allowing the person to
support the LTTE organization in any form is offence.
