The Bombay High Court on Monday (November 2, 2026) allowed actor Imran Khan Pal to continue in India until the next hearing on December 7 after he unconditionally apologized and pledged not to participate in protests in the future. However, the court did not quash the ‘Quit India’ notice issued against him and sought a detailed reply from the Center before deciding the matter.

A bench of Chief Justice Mahesh Chandra Tripathi and Justice Advait M Sethna heard Mr Khan’s petition challenging the October 14 notice issued by the Foreigners Registration Office (FRRO) ordering him to leave India by October 28.
