Imran Khan Challenges Leave India Notice, Seeks Evidence
· India · Hindustan Times, NDTV
Actor Imran Khan has challenged a leave India notice issued by the Foreigners Regional Registration Office (FRRO) after he was detained by Mumbai Police at a protest site. The Bombay High Court has granted interim relief, putting the notice on hold until November 2. Khan has requested the authorities to provide the evidence and police reports used to justify the potential cancellation of his Overseas Citizen of India (OCI) card. He argued that the notice was based on nebulous and contradictory reasons and that he was not given a fair opportunity to respond. Khan, who has lived in India for 42 years, stated that he did not cross police barricades at the protest site.
Why it matters
The case concerns the legal status of an OCI cardholder and the transparency of government procedures in revoking residency rights for foreign citizens.
