Imran Khan, the former Prime Minister of Pakistan, has approached the High Court seeking relief after receiving directives to depart India, according to legal sources. The court has subsequently issued a show-cause notice, requiring relevant authorities to explain the basis for the order.
Details surrounding the exact circumstances of the deportation directive remain limited. Khan's legal team moved the court after the purported order was communicated to him, prompting judicial intervention in the matter.
The High Court's issuance of a show-cause notice indicates it will examine the legality and grounds for the directive before proceeding further. This development adds another dimension to Khan's international legal challenges, which have mounted significantly in recent years.
Khan, who served as Pakistan's Prime Minister from 2018 to 2022, has faced multiple legal proceedings both domestically and internationally. His petition before the High Court suggests he intends to contest the deportation order through judicial channels rather than complying with the directive.
