pplication of passport is not liable to be refused on the ground of pendency of criminal case if the applicant obtains permission from the concerned criminal Court for travelling outside India. The Passport Authority, therefore, cannot reject the application for passport mechanically on the ground of pendency of criminal case against the application. It will be the duty of the Passport Authority to bring the relevant Notification to apply to the concerned criminal Court for permission to travel abroad. If the applicant obtains such permission from the criminal Court where his case is pending, the Passport Authority will be duty-bound to issue the passport in terms of the order of the criminal Court subject to the conditions of the notification.
