Two days left to leave India, Bombay HC defers actor Imran Khan’s hearing

The Bombay High Court has postponed its hearing for actor Imran Khan's plea against a Leave India Notice (LIN) issued by the Foreigners Regional Registration Office (FRRO). The LIN demands that Imran Khan depart India by October 28, 2021. The court granted additional time for the hearing on October 27, with the hearing set to commence at 3 pm.

This case highlights the limited time Imran Khan has to comply with the FRRO's demand for his departure. Senior advocate Venkatesh Dhond, representing Imran Khan, communicated with Solicitor Tushar Mehta, the FRRO's legal counsel, and requested a postponement to allow for further consideration. Mehta expressed no objections to the rescheduling.

The LIN was issued following Imran Khan's participation in a protest against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar at August Kranti Marg in Mumbai on October 10, 2021. He was subsequently detained at the protest site alongside other individuals.
