Neutral Citation No. - 2025:AHC:19789-DB Court No. - 29 Case :- WRIT - C No. - 36229 of 2024 Petitioner :- Sadiq Kul Ameen Respondent :- Union Of India And 2 Others Counsel for Petitioner :- Kamal Krishna Roy,Prabal Pratap Counsel for Respondent :- A.S.G.I.,C.S.C.,R. K. Singh Kaosik Hon'ble Ashwani Kumar Mishra,J. Hon'ble Arun Kumar Singh Deshwal,J. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner, learned Standing Counsel for the State and Sri R.K. Singh Kaosik, learned counsel for the respondents. Petitioner's application for issuance of passport has not been accorded consideration on account of pendency of Case Crime No.0463 of 2018 under Sections 419, 420 IPC. Reliance is placed upon the Division Bench judgment of this Court in Writ - C No. 41540 of 2023 (Pawan Kumar Rajbhar Vs. Union of India & 2 Ors.), in order to contend that mere pendency of Case Crime No.112 of 2024 cannot be a ground to deny issuance of passport to the petitioner. In the facts of the case, we permit the petitioner to approach the concerned court where the aforesaid case is pending for grant of no objection certificate by the court concerned so that the passport authorities take a fresh decision in the matter relating to issuance of the petitioner's passport. Petitioner, therefore, is at liberty to approach the concerned court which shall act in terms of the law laid down in Pawan Kumar Rajbhar (supra) and based upon its decision, the passport authorities would do the needful by passing appropriate orders, within a further period of two months, thereafter. Accordingly, the present writ petition is disposed of. Order Date :- 11.2.2025 LN Tripathi Digitally signed by :- LALIT TRIPATHI High Court of Judicature at Allahabad
