Bombay HC to hear Imran Khan's challenge to FRRO 'leave India' order

Actor Imran Khan has approached the Bombay High Court seeking to quash a 'leave India notice' issued to him by the Foreigners Regional Registration Office (FRRO) in Mumbai, according to court filings made on Saturday, October 17.

In his petition, Khan has contended that the notice is arbitrary, illegal, and unconstitutional. The plea seeks the court's intervention to challenge what the actor's legal team characterizes as an unjustified directive from the immigration authorities.

The Bombay High Court has scheduled a hearing on the matter for October 26, when Khan's counsel is expected to present arguments against the FRRO's order. The outcome of the hearing could significantly impact Khan's legal status and his ability to remain in India.

The development marks an escalation in what appears to be an administrative dispute between the actor and immigration authorities. Further details regarding the reasons cited by the FRRO for issuing the notice were not immediately available.
