Bombay High Court extended the interim stay on the FRRO’s Leave India notice against actor Imran Khan until December 7.
The court asked Khan to file an unconditional apology and, in one account of the hearing, an undertaking not to take part in future protests.
The notice followed Khan’s detention on October 10 during a protest demanding the resignation of the Chief Election Commissioner.
Khan’s side said he had no connection with the organisers and was only near the protest site, while the Centre said he actively instigated the demonstrators.
Why it mattersThe court’s stay extension determines whether the actor can remain in India while the protest-related legal dispute continues.
