Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court allowed the appeal of Parvez Noordin Lokhandwalla, challenging the Bombay High Court's refusal to permit him to travel to the US for eight weeks. The court recognized the necessity for the appellant to return to the US to maintain his Green Card status and emphasized the importance of balancing individual rights with legal obligations. The Supreme Court ultimately granted the appellant permission to travel, highlighting the need for judicial flexibility in exceptional circumstances.
