    Case Summary: WP/17710/2026 - Krishnakanth Sidam v. Union of India Decision: The High Court of Telangana disposed of the petition, directing the petitioner to seek a No Objection Certificate (NOC) from the trial court handling his pending criminal case (C.C. No. 8 of 2021) before applying for passport issuance. The court clarified that mere pendency of criminal proceedings cannot alone justify passport refusal, but an NOC from the trial court is the proper procedural requirement. Key Reasoning: The court held that the petitioner must first approach the trial court with an application for NOC, which should be decided within one week. Only after obtaining the NOC should he submit a fresh passport application. If travel abroad is needed during criminal proceedings, a separate travel permission application must be filed with the trial court. The NOC is distinct from travel permission. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
