Yes, if the High Court has quashed the criminal case against you, you are eligible to apply for a passport or renew it. Ensure you attach a copy of the quash order with your passport application as proof. As per the Ministry of External Affairs guidelines, if the case is closed and there is no pending criminal proceeding, you are not required to obtain court permission or disclose the case while applying for a passport.

Yes, you can renew your passport now, as you have got your Criminal Case quashed from the concerned High Court. You won't face any legal complications, as you have got a clean chit after quashing of FIR. However, if the Prosecution files an Appeal, then, you may face some legal complications in renewing the Passport.

A High Court quashing order regarding passport renewal means that the High Court has overturned a previous decision, typically by a lower court or the passport authority, that denied the renewal of a passport. The High Court may do this if it finds that the lower court's decision was based on an incorrect interpretation of the law or lacked proper justification.
