Section 6(2)(f) Passports Act | Pending Criminal Case Not Automatic Bar; Court NOC Mandatory for Travel : Telangana HC
Telangana High Court rules that mere pendency of criminal proceedings does not automatically disqualify passport issuance under Section 6(2)(f) of the Passports Act.

The ruling balances Article 21 rights with statutory compliance, impacting individuals facing criminal cases seeking overseas travel.
