First answer received in 10 minutes.
Lawyers are available now to answer your questions.
Yes obviously, it is not advised that you hide this fact from the passport authorities.
Yes you will be having difficulty, get the passport renewed and get the order from court before applying for visa.
Since you are on bail, the bail order has to be modified.
Regards
While applying for issuance of passport such information is not sought for.
If it is not asked for then there is no need to mention this case.
Even if the case is mentioned then pendency of such case is not a hindrance to get the passport reissued.
If the passport authority refuses to reissue the passport you can consider filing writ petition
Charges in the case not yet framed means the case is at initial stage. Since the case is not yet finalised and final judgment not yet delivered and charged sections are only allegations no need to disclose the same in renewal process of passport. The conviction is only criteria for any official record .
he should mention details of the pending case while applying for renewal of passport
2) an applicant against whom a criminal case is pending, is required to obtain necessary permission from the Criminal Court wherein his case is pending and then make an application to the passport authority.

It may depend case to case and requirement of the case.
Yes all the details have to be mentioned with entire case papers to the authority.
Dear Client,
Concealing any fact regarding pendency of criminal case is also a crime. Not advisable to hide this fact, otherwise ur passport may get revoked for longer time.
Aforesaid, sections are not that much severe that ur passport may be withhold, except till the pendency of case or can visit out of India with the leave of court in case authorities denies renewal.
Hi
Yes your relative will have to take permission from court authorities to travel abroad and also the passport authorities will ask about pending court cases against your relative and that has to be mentioned. Because hiding the court case will land you up in some troubles. It would be better to apply for the permission to travel abroad and get the passport renewal done on the basis of the approval of the travel permission from court.
Thank You
He has to mention the pendency of the criminal cases in the appropriate column meant for re-issue of passport.
He cannot travel abroad during the pendency of criminal cases against him and he may have to obtain permission from court if he is going for a short trip to abroad and back.
