Amit Shah spoke to all chief ministers on Friday and asked them to identify all Pakistan nationals in their respective states and take steps to ensure their prompt return to Pakistan.

The bench further asked senior advocate Abhishek Singhvi, appearing for Rahul Gandhi, whether he knew that even Mahatma Gandhi used words such as “your faithful servant” in his communications to the Britishers.

The court said it was not inclined to grant a complete stay on the investigation into the case registered against the comedian at Khar police station here. “The investigation can continue, however, it is not necessary to arrest the petitioner,” the court said.
