Akshay Ashok Jadhav vs Maharashtra State Through Shirval Police Station — 20/2026

The Khandala court granted permission to accused Akshay Ashok Jadhav to renew his passport for ten years, recognizing passport renewal as a fundamental right under Indian law, while imposing strict conditions that the passport cannot be used to flee justice and requires prior court permission before traveling abroad. The court balanced the accused's legitimate need to visit other countries against the state's concern about absconding by referencing Ministry of External Affairs guidelines requiring court permission for passport renewal when criminal proceedings are pending.
