    Case Summary: Cr.M.P. No. 365/2026 The Thiruvadanai Judicial Magistrate allowed Karthikeyan's petition for a No Objection Certificate to renew his passport despite pending trial under IPC Sections 273 and 328 and the Tobacco Act. The court balanced the accused's constitutional right to travel (Article 21) against prosecution concerns, holding that Section 6(2)(f) of the Passport Act permits court discretion and the presumption of innocence cannot be arbitrarily curtailed. The NOC was granted subject to stringent conditions: a Rs. 4 lakh bond with two sureties and prohibition on leaving the country without court permission, with violation risking warrant issuance and bail cancellation. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
