    Case Summary: WP 17074/2026 Court Decision: The Telangana High Court disposed of the writ petition without granting direct passport renewal. However, the court established a procedural pathway: the petitioner must apply to the trial court handling his pending criminal case (Cr.No.598/2023) for a "No Objection Certificate" (NOC), which the trial court should decide within one week. Upon obtaining the NOC, the passport authority must process the renewal application in accordance with law. Key Reasoning: While mere pendency of criminal proceedings cannot bar passport renewal, the applicable 2019 Ministry of External Affairs guidelines require an NOC from the trial court when criminal cases are pending. The court clarified that such NOC does not constitute permission to travel abroad—separate permission must be sought if international travel is intended during the criminal proceedings. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
