Summary:
In an interesting case, a man had to move the Gujarat High Court for renewal of his passport after the regional passport officer refused the same citing that he has suppressed the fact that another passport has been already issued in his name by Bareilly passport office. The man claimed that he had approached the passport authorities for a renewal of his passport after its expiry. However, the same was denied on the ground that he had suppressed the fact of another passport being already issued in his name by Bareilly passport office. He tried to justify to the authorities that he had never applied for any passport from Bareilly but his attempt went in vain. Against this, he moved the high court and contended that he had only made an application at Ahmedabad passport office through an agent as all his required documents for passport belongs to Ahmedabad..
