But another group, the Trans-national Government of Tamil Eelam (TGTE) – the self-styled government of exiled Tamils around the world – brought a case against the Home Secretary over the ban, saying the Tamil Tigers are no longer engaged in terrorism.
However, the Joint Terrorism Analysis Centre (JTAC), which assesses the terrorist threat in the UK, said the Tamil Tigers should stay banned because they have failed to renounce violence.
The POAC ruled that Ms Patel must review the ban, saying the grounds for renewing it were flawed.
The TGTE has mounted a separate bid in the Court of Appeal to get the ban automatically lifted.
