    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.
