Imran Khan Seeks Stay On FRRO's Leave India Notice, Hearing On October 27

Imran Khan says the notice is unconstitutional and seeks to block deportation, LOC action and OCI cancellation after a protest-related complaint.

  • On Tuesday, October 27, the Bombay High Court will hear actor Imran Khan's petition challenging a 'Leave India Notice' issued by the Foreigners Regional Registration Office . Khan, a United States citizen and Overseas Citizen of India cardholder, must depart by Wednesday if the order stands.
  • Following Khan's participation in an October 10 protest against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar near August Kranti Maidan, authorities invoked the Immigration and Foreigners Act, citing an adverse security report to restrict his movement.
  • Challenging the notice, Khan argued it "reflects patent non-application of mind" and is "illegal, arbitrary, perverse and drastic," requesting an interim stay on deportation during the court proceedings.
  • The FRRO also initiated proceedings regarding potential cancellation of Khan's Overseas Citizen of India status; the actor denied violating residency conditions, arguing his attendance at the gathering did not breach his privileges.
  • Pending the hearing tomorrow, the actor faces mandatory removal under Section 29 of the Immigration and Foreigners Act if the court denies his plea, as both sides previously sought time to prepare arguments.
