Case Summary: WP(MD) 14246/2026 The Madurai High Court allowed Arunkumar's petition for passport re-issuance despite a pending FIR (Crime No. 205/2020), holding that mere FIR pendency cannot justify withholding passport renewal. The court directed the Regional Passport Officer to re-issue the passport within four weeks, while requiring the petitioner to seek court permission before traveling abroad once the charge sheet is filed. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
