You cannot apply for fresh passport.
You have to get it from him, if he's not returning then you give a complaint to police and try to retrieve it.
If that person misuses you pp it will amount to offence by you under Passport Act punishable with imprisonment for a term which may extend to six month or with or both. File a complaint against him stating he took the pp by cheating.
You need to lodge a police complaint against that person for illegally withholding your passport. Please do not apply for a fresh passport suppressing facts.
- Legally , no person is allowed to keep others Passport without getting his written consent , and holding others passport is an offence
- You can lodge a complaint before the police and the passport authority against him.
- Further, if you want a new passport , then firstly you should lodge FIR for missing or theft of the passport , and after submitting the said FIR , you can apply for re-issue of the passport.
