Khan (27), claims he came into the Indian territory when he was nine-year-old and has been staying here since then. Initially, he went to Delhi and from there travelled to Uttar Pradesh and from there came to Mumbai.
Khan, who is presently residing in suburban Wadala with his wife and three children, had in June 2009 approached the CID office in Mumbai requesting them to send him back to PoK.
He contacted his relatives there and got his original native documents faxed to the CID office.
Khan in his petition before the High Court has said the police instead of taking a "humane" approach, booked him under various sections of the Passport Act and Foreigners Citizen Act.
The counsel for Union Government today sought time from the High Court to take instructions in this regard following which the matter was adjourned for two weeks by a division bench of Justices A M Khanwilkar and A R Joshi.
