No Objection' For Issuance Of Passport To Accused Can Only Be Granted By Court Before Which Criminal Proceedings Are Pending: J&K High Court

The Jammu & Kashmir High Court has issued a ruling regarding the issuance of a No Objection Certificate (NOC) and the grant of a passport to an individual with a pending criminal case. The specifics of the ruling, such as whether the court allowed or denied the NOC and passport, and the conditions attached, are not detailed in the summary. However, the court's intervention indicates a consideration of the balance between an individual's right to travel and the pendency of criminal proceedings against them. Such cases often involve an assessment of the seriousness of the charges, the likelihood of the individual absconding, and the potential impact on the legal proceedings. The High Court's decision would provide guidance on how these competing interests are to be balanced in such situations.
