Heard Sri Butta Vijaya Bhaskar, learned counsel for the Petitioner and Ms.K.Priyanka Lakshmi, learned Assistant Public Prosecutor. 2 3. Learned counsel for the Petitioner would submit that the Petitioner herein is Accused No.3, who is facing allegations for the offences under Sections 354(D) read with 34 of IPC and Section 67 of the Information Technology Act. It is further submitted that, he filed Crl.M.P.No.84 of 2024 in C.C.No.15 of 2024 before the trial Court seeking permission to obtain passport to attend the marriage of his own sister scheduled to be held in Saudi Arabia on 21.03.2026 and the same was dismissed without assigning any specific reason. Learned counsel would further submit that, after the marriage of his sister, the Petitioner will be returned to India by 05.04.2026. Hence, prayed to allow the petition. 4. Learned Assistant Public Prosecutor would submit that the Court may pass appropriate orders. 5. As can be seen from the impugned order, there is no specific reason assigned by the learned Magistrate to refuse the request of the Petitioner to go to Saudi Arabia to attend his sister’s marriage and to have passport. Learned Magistrate observed that there is no such condition imposed while granting bail to the Petitioner to obtain permission of the Court while leaving the country. Simply because a person is facing allegations for the offences under Sections 354(D) read with 34 of IPC and Section 67 of the Information Technology Act, he cannot be deprived from visiting a country i.e., Saudi Arabia to attend the marriage of his own sister. 3 6. In that view, the Criminal Revision Case is allowed setting aside the Order dated 27.02.2026 in Crl.M.P.No.84 of 2024 in C.C.No.15 of 2024 on the file of the Court of I Additional Judicial Magistrate of First Class, Adoni. Petitioner / Accused No.3 is permitted to get his passport according to law without any reference of the present case.

Petitioner shall furnish his travel schedule, place of stay abroad, to the Court as well as the Investigating Officer. Petitioner shall furnish his active mobile number to the Investigating Officer. Petitioner shall return to India by 05.04.2026 and shall appear before the Court on the next date of hearing after returning to India.
