Neutral Citation No. - 2025:AHC:35516-DB Court No. - 29 Case :- WRIT - C No. - 7208 of 2025 Petitioner :- Abdul Rahim Respondent :- Union Of India And 3 Others Counsel for Petitioner :- Jeeshan Ahmad Siddiqui,Kanhaiya Lal,Mohammed Iftekhar Counsel for Respondent :- A.S.G.I.,C.S.C. Hon'ble Ashwani Kumar Mishra,J. Hon'ble Donadi Ramesh,J. Petitioner's application for issuance of passport apparently has been kept pending on account of his implication in a criminal case. Reliance is placed upon the Division Bench judgment of this Court in Writ - C No. 41540 of 2023 (Pawan Kumar Rajbhar Vs. Union of India & 2 Ors.), in order to contend that mere pendency of Case Crime No. 211 of 2018, under Sections 452, 323, 504, 506 IPC, P.S. Utraon, District Allahabad, cannot be a ground to deny issuance of passport to the petitioner. In the facts of the case, we permit the petitioner to approach the concerned court where the aforesaid case is pending for grant of no objection certificate by the court concerned so that the passport authorities take a fresh decision in the matter relating to issuance of the petitioner's passport. Petitioner, therefore, is at liberty to approach the concerned court whi
