Summary
Petitioner sought direction for renewal of passport despite pendency of criminal proceedings. HELD- Sec.6 (2) (f) of the Passports Act does not impose an absolute embargo on renewal merely due to pendency. Restriction is regulatory and purpose-oriented. Renewal is distinct from travel abroad. Insistence on prior NOC is procedural formalism unsupported by the statutory scheme, denial isn’t proportionate. Passport directed to be renewed, subject to court’s permission for travel.
