    Case Summary: WPO/136/2026 - Sonia Patwari v. Regional Passport Officer, Kolkata The High Court at Calcutta dismissed Sonia Patwari's writ petition challenging the closure of her passport application. The passport authorities had identified a discrepancy: her father's name was recorded as "Sushil Goyal" in her marriage certificate and Madhyamik Pariksha examination certificate, but she failed to respond to two calls requesting clarification or correction despite being given opportunity to do so. Justice Krishna Rao found the closure justified as the petitioner provided no explanation for the name discrepancy. However, the court permitted her to file a fresh passport application with corrected documents, directing the authorities to process it within three weeks of receipt.
