True

Explanation:

The word 'Amicus Curiae' in Latin means "friend of the court".

Amicus curiae is an individual but he or she is not related to a case and may have been requested by the party or may not. An amicus curiae assists the court by giving expertise, information or insight that has a significance on the matters in the case and it is generally presented in the form of a brief.

Thus the Supreme court allows the group or party that are interested in the case but are are not directly involved in the case to submit their briefs known as 'Amicus Curiae'.

Hence the answer is TRUE.
