On July 5, the High Court had imposed an interim stay on Navalkha's arrest till July 23. Navalkha and several other social activists are facing trial for their alleged links with the Naxalites. Navalkha had approached the High Court seeking dismissal of the FIR lodged against him, which is under trial.

The information recovered from the laptops of co-accused Rauna Wilson and Surendra Gadling in the case proves that Navalkha and various naxal groups had interacted with top Hizbul leaders, said Pune police lawyer Aruna Pai in the high court. Navalkha has been engaged in forge links with various banned terrorist organisations, including the Hizbul, since 2011. Navalkha also had links with various Kashmiri separatist leaders, including Syed Ali Shah Geelani and Shakeel Bakshi, between 2011 and 2014. However, Navalkha's lawyer termed all the allegations as baseless.
