Hon'ble Ashwani Kumar Mishra,J. Hon'ble Praveen Kumar Giri,J. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and Sri Suresh Chandra Mishra, learned counsel for the respondents. Petitioner's application for renewal of his passport has been kept pending on account of his implication in Case Crime No.195 of 2021 under Section 279, 337, 427 IPC. Learned counsel for the petitioner has invited our attention to an order passed by the competent court, whereby the proceedings have been concluded by holding petitioner guilty and imposing penalty of Rs.800/-. This amount has already been deposited. It is submitted that this conviction and imposition of penalty cannot be made the basis for denial of consideration of petitioner's application for renewal of passport. So far as the other case being Case Crime No.76 of 1995 is concerned, the petitioner has already acquitted on 21.10.1995. Reliance is placed upon Section 6(2)(e) of the Passport Act, 1967. In that view of the matter, this writ petition stands disposed of with a direction upon the second respondent to accord consideration to petitioner's application for renewal of passport, in accordance with the provisions of the Passport Act, 1967 and keeping in view the observation made above, within a period of six weeks, from the date of presentation of a certified copy of this order.
