Its Chief Secy. And Ors. Counsel for Petitioner :- Kaushal Tiwari Counsel for Respondent :- A.S.G.I.,C.S.C. Hon'ble Rajan Roy,J. Hon'ble Om Prakash Shukla,J. 1. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and Sri S.B. Pandey, learned Senior Advocate & D.S.G.I. assisted by Sri Varun Pandey, learned counsel for the opposite parties. 2. In para-7 the petitioner has stated about filing of an F.I.R. against him and also that he has been bailed out. No mention is there as to whether chargesheet has been filed or not ? 3. Orally learned counsel has stated that chargesheet has been filed and the petitioner has been summoned to face trial. 4. We have already elucidated the law with regard to matters where passport is not being issued on account of pendency of criminal trial in our judgments such as decision dated 20.11.2018 passed in Writ Petition No.31723 (M/B) of 2018 'Salim Kumar vs. Union of India & Ors.'; judgment dated 03.12.2022 rendered in Writ-C No.8621 of 2022 'Shiv Shankar vs. Union of India & Ors.'; decision dated 21.06.2022 rendered in Writ-C No.3617 of 2022 'Smt. Rashmi Kapoor vs. Union of India & Ors.'; decision dated 13.11.2024 passed in Writ-C No.9562 of 2024 and a recent decision dated 21.10.2024 rendered by this very Division Bench in Writ-C No.8874 of 2024 'Shah Alam vs. Union of India & Ors.', yet writ petitions are being filed seeking such reliefs as has been prayed therein. This wastes the time of the Court. Petitioner's counsel should advise the client properly to seek remedy before the Court where criminal trial is pending in the light of our judgments referred hereinabove. 5. Accordingly, the petition is disposed of. (Om Prakash Shukla, J.) (Rajan Roy, J.) Order Date :- 19.2.2025/A.Nigam Digitally signed by :- ANUJ NIGAM High Court of Judicature at Allahabad, Lucknow Bench
