Supreme Court bench headed by Nageswara Rao, J., holds that any organisation which supports the cause of a group of citizens agitating for their rights without a political goal or objective cannot be penalized by being declared as an organisation of a political nature under FCRA.
SC: To save this provision from being declared as unconstitutional, we hold that it is only those organisations which have connection with active politics or take part in party politics, that are covered by Rule 3 (vi) of FCRA Rules 2011
SC: To make it clear, such of those organisations which are not involved in active politics or party politics do not fall within the purview of Rule 3 (vi).
SC: We make it clear that organisations used for channeling foreign funds by political parties cannot escape the rigour of the Act provided there is concrete material.
