Passport Impound of accussed in criminal case
26-Sep-2023 (In Criminal Law)
How to impound or sieze accused passport after charge sheet has been submitted by the police station, the accused is trying to escape by moving out of India
Court proceedings not yet begun, case status is showing appearance of accussed
Impounding of a passport can only be done by the passport authority under Section 10(3) of the Passports Act, 1967. Neither the police nor the court can impound one’s passport, the only option is for the police to write to the passport authority. Once a notice along with the passport is sent to the passport authority by police, after a fair hearing from the other side, the passport authority on its discretion may impound the passport of the offender.
