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. By means of this petition, the petitioner seeks issuance of passport for which an application has been submitted on 09.01.2025. The application for issuance of passport dated 09.01.2025 has not been decided. 3. We have passed several orders that in cases where criminal cases are pending trial before a Court of competent jurisdiction or there is an appeal or revision or 482 Cr.P.C. petition pending before a higher Court No Objection Certification/ Permission is required under the notifications issued by the Ministry of External Affairs referable to Passport Act, 1967 from the Court where such proceedings are pending. In spite of it everyday writ petitions are being filed before this Court. Once the law has been clarified there is no reason to approach this Court by filing a writ petition. The persons should straightway move an application for grant of such NOC/Permission in terms of the relevant notification and the law on the subject, as, it is said that there are two criminal cases against the petitioner are pending. In this regard we may refer to our decisions dated 03.12.2022 in Writ C No.8621 of 2022; Shiv Shankar vs. Union of India and others and the earlier decision on the subject in the case of Salim Khan vs. Union of India and Ors; Writ Petition No.31723 (M/B) of 2018 dated 20.11.2018 and judgment dated 21.06.2022 rendered in Writ C No.3617 of 2022 ; Smt.
