History

Historical Context

India’s Foreigners Act empowers the Home Ministry to restrict foreign nationals, a power that courts have repeatedly examined. The 2025 Immigration and Foreigners Act, which took effect on 1 September 2025 to streamline immigration law, saw the Bombay High Court in October 2026 adjourn the hearing on actor Imran Khan’s exit notice to 2 November.
