petitioner Naushad filed a writ petition under Article 226 of the Constitution seeking directions for issuance of his passport and completion of police verification in respect of Passport Application No. LK066459648625 dated 23.12.2025. The petitioner also prayed for expeditious action by the Regional Passport Office.
The State informed the Court that although a criminal case had allegedly been registered against the petitioner in the year 1983, no records relating to the said case were available and it could not be ascertained whether the case was still pending or not.
Taking note of the aforesaid circumstances, the Division Bench comprising Hon’ble Shekhar B. Saraf, J. and Hon’ble Abdhesh Kumar Chaudhary, J. directed the concerned police authorities to submit a clear report to the Regional Passport Office within one week from the date of the order. The Court further directed that upon receipt of the clearance certificate, the passport authorities shall act in accordance with law and issue a fresh passport to the petitioner after completion of necessary formalities.
Passport can not be denied on the ground of non available of records in State Office.
