Bombay High Court to Hear Imran Khan's Challenge to ‘Leave India’ Notice on Oct 26

The Bombay High Court announced that it will consider former Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan's petition challenging a ‘Leave India’ notice on October 26. The court’s order also seeks the inclusion of the Maharashtra state government as a respondent, indicating that the notice may have been issued in coordination with state authorities. Khan's legal team argues that the notice infringes on his personal liberty and political rights, while the government has not yet responded publicly. The hearing will take place in the court’s Mumbai bench, and any decision could set a precedent for cross‑border political cases handled in Indian courts. Observers note that the outcome may influence diplomatic interactions between India and Pakistan, though the court’s focus remains strictly on legal merits.
