The High Court has neither quashed nor set aside the October 14 notice. The notice originally required Imran Khan to leave India by October 28. However, the court kept it in abeyance through its October 27 interim order. File | Photo Credit: Emmanual Yogini
The Bombay High Court on Monday (November 2, 2026) allowed actor Imran Khan Pal to continue residing in India pending the next hearing on December 7, after he tendered an unconditional apology and undertook not to participate in protests in the future. The court, however, did not quash the ‘Leave India’ notice issued against him and sought a detailed response from the Centre before deciding the matter.
A division bench of Chief Justice Mahesh Chandra Tripathi and Justice Advait M. Sethna was hearing Mr. Khan’s petition challenging the October 14 notice issued by the Foreigners Regional Registration Officer (FRRO), directing him to leave India by October 28.
