Respected RPO officer (RPO),

This is in reference of your show cause notice as adverse Police Verification Report corresponding to my “passport renewal application” for “passport issuance facility” with file number X135790865356 dated 24/04/2018 . And your department has been informed by the police authorities about my involvement in 498a case of pre trial stage , in this regard I would like to convey my unconditional apologies for any unintentional inconvenience that has caused to you unnecessarily.

I am MR.XXX.YYY possessing old passport bearing No: S5467783 file No. DL123098567 as got issued on 06/02/2003 and expired on 05/02/2013 , meanwhile under validation of my passport I also applied and upgraded for “emigration clearance not required” file No. 64/M/43052/07 dated 23/11/2007. Hence recently I applied for renewal of my passport bearing FILE NO: X135790865356 dated 24/04/2018 and at the time of pre police verification I discussed the issue of 498a’s FIR n charge sheet with the investigation officer and he only told and advised me that if I would receive any letter then I have to keep it (Show cause notice) safe and after getting final judgement order I need to enclose both (SCN & judgement) of them to obtain my renewed passport by applying next time. And meanwhile I received this show cause notice LETTER REF. NO: SCN/1234567/18 dated 24/05/2018.

ISSUE & CASE: Applicant is involved in cr.No.142/2014 of Dwaraka PS u/s 498-A IPC 3&4 of DP Act And it is under PT stage & CC.No.86/2015 of XIII ACMM Dwaraka Court.

SATISFACTORY EXPLANATION & CLARIFICATION:

I submit that, the adverse police verification report in the file passport renewal application bearing number XY0987656789 on dated 24/04/2018.

First of all I would like to clarify that, I approached to my one of the legal counsels at the time of filing a renewal application of passport and then he advised and suggested in this regards, renewal passport application should not be suppress the information as filing FIR and submitting charge sheet does not comes under any pendency of criminal case. And

further also my counsel knowledged me that, as per the ongoing criminal proceedings, when a person had been charged of criminal proceedings under the court of criminal procedure and taking cognizance of the same. Merely pendency of the FIR cannot be construed as pendency of criminal proceedings.

I further submitted that, merely pendency of the criminal case is not sufficient ground to reject or hold the application of the applicant. I mentioned below few citations with the judgements of honourable High courts among various states in support of my satisfactory explanation and clarification which is most suitable to my explanation. The regional passport officer mechanically look into the issuance of renewed passport to me.

Hence I did not suppress the material information before the passport authorities knowingly and intentionally about me and my family members as falsely got framed and implicated in 498a case which is still now under pre trial stage and charges have not been framed. The Criminal Court has not taken cognizance of it and charges against me and my family members have not been framed.

Thanking You for giving me an opportunity to put my explanation for your satisfactory. Further whichever information for clarification regarding issuance of passport I furnished in the before of regional passport authorities. I once again sincerely regret for the inconvenience that has caused unnecessarily.

I and my family members are regularly attending the proceedings in the before of Court and strongly defending the case for the sake of justice. Still proceedings are under pre trial stage and charges have not been framed against me and my family members and till now still only accused examination of us is keep on going. Meaning to say that nothing is on track and further proceedings as per the false and baseless allegations that to without any proper evidences and proofs.

Moreover being falsely accused doesn’t mean having criminal background, we got trapped by stage manage and falsely implicated including me and my other four

  • family members as my old age and patient parents into this false case. We are fighting this false case on high priority for justice purpose though this case has been filed without any proper investigation and all. This false case is wrongly framed on me and my other family members with wrong intention to harass us.

The forwarding is done for the purpose of taking the same on record and file of the court and then only, the same is perused by the court to take cognizance of the offence. Mere forwarding without meaning it to be taken on file is not contemplated under law. If the police report is forwarded to the Magistrate for taking it on file, but if the Magistrate finds that the said report is not in consonance with S. 173(2) read with S. 173(5) Cr.P.C., he declines to take it on record and that act is only administrative and not judicial. The judiciary act commences only when the charge-sheet is in order and the Magistrate proceeds further under Chapter XVI. Unless the charge-sheet is in the official custody of the court together with its accompaniments to be furnished to the accused, it cannot be construed that there is a filing of charge-sheet.

Next stage is trial and the eventual being the judgment.

  • BEFORE THE MADURAI BENCH OF MADRAS HIGH COURT DATED: 24.03.2016, CORAM: THE HONOURABLE MR.JUSTICE B.RAJENDRAN, W.P(MD)No.4092 of 2016 – S.M.Shoba (Petitioner)

Order: This Writ Petition has been filed seeking issuance of a Mandamus to direct the second respondent to impound the passport of the respondents 4 and 5 in the light of section 10 of the Passport Act considering the pendency of the criminal case against respondents 4 and 5 within the stipulated time.

Decision: This Court is of the view that filing a Writ Petition seeking direction to the Passport Authority to impound the passport of the rival parties in a family dispute is nothing but a tactics has now been invented to somehow harass the other side either way. Therefore, if every case like this is started, it will put to irreparable loss to the other party unless a firm thing is made out before the Court to show that the party has violated any conditions. Impounding the passport is not an automatic and routine one and under the caption of consideration of representation the petitioner cannot think that a positive direction would be given. Therefore, this Court is not passing any order. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is dismissed. No costs.

PRAYER:

Henceforth I am praying to Regional Passport Officer with my humble request by folding hands that please do renewal and issue me a renewed passport as its a by birth right of every citizen of india to have a valid passport. By protecting my constitutional fundamental right to have an active and valid passport as my identity and hence renewal of my identity cannot be conditional.

I just wanted to get it renew as almost 5 years over after expiring of my passport and as required to have an active and valid passport for the purpose of any good job opportunities here in india where I could asked to furnish my valid and active passport towards my permanent residential proof as one of the formalities.

I request as please don’t consider me as I have suppressed the material information due to the pendency of FIR and submission of charge sheet as The Criminal Court has not taken cognizance of it and charges against me and my family members have not been framed.

I further request to review the declaration by the honourable Supreme Court in Maneka Gandhi vs. Union of India. that passport is a fundamental right of every citizen. Also deprivation of livelihood would not only denude the life of its effective content and meaningfulness however it would make life impossible to live. Yet such deprivation of life would not be in accordance with the procedure established by law, if the right to livelihood is not regarded as a part of the right to life.

I strongly respect the final call by the regional passport officer’s decision for reissuing me the renewed and valid passport as per the merit of the justice.

DATED : 18TH JUNE, 2018. Yours sincerely,
PLACE : Delhi (MR.XXX.YYY)
