Passport Rules 1980 | 10-Year Renewal Mandatory for Accused on Anticipatory Bail Unless Trial Court Restricts Travel: Gujarat HC
Gujarat High Court holds that accused persons granted anticipatory bail are entitled to passport renewal for 10 years under the Passport Rules, 1980, overriding the one-year limit under GSR Notification 570(E). The ruling underscores that travel restrictions must be explicitly imposed by a trial court, not presumed.
