Police Clearance Certificate | Pending Criminal Case Does Not Automatically Bar Issuance for Overseas Employment : Kerala HC
The Kerala High Court has ruled that an accused individual is entitled to a customized Police Clearance Certificate for overseas employment even with a pending criminal case, provided the certificate discloses the case details. This affirms the right to travel and work abroad as part of Article 21, preventing administrative overreach by passport authorities who treat pending cases as automatic disqualifiers.
