The High Court of Karnataka has directed the Union government not to precipitate the matter further, till June 2, the issue of cancellation of Overseas Citizen of India (OCI) card given to Kannada actor Chetan Kumar, if he submits an undertaking stating that he would delete tweets against the judiciary and matters sub-judice, and exercises restraint in tweeting on such matters.
Justice M. Nagaprasanna passed the interim order on April 21 on a petition filed by the actor, who has questioned the legality of the order passed by the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) cancelling his OCI card on the allegation that the actor, who is a citizen of the United States by his birth, had indulged in “anti-India activities”.
