HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE VILAS V. AFZULPURKAR WRIT PETITION NO.21430 OF 2011 ORDER: 1. Nobody appears for the respondent. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner. 2. The limited grievance of the petitioner is that he was issued a passport in the year 1988, which expired on 25.9.1998 and thereafter he made a fresh application on 13.10.2009 vide his application No.Z-204389/2009. Since no orders were being passed on the said application, he has approached this Court. He states that a petty criminal case was instituted against him for which he had not been served with any summons as on the date of making application for passport and as such details regarding the said case could not be mentioned by him. But, later when the petitioner came to know about the said criminal case, he states that he has contested the said case and he was acquitted by the criminal court, the certiﬁed copy of which is ﬁled by the petitioner with the respondent and the same was received by them under acknowledgement dated 3.5.2010. The petitioner, therefore, submits that in view of the due intimation of his acquittal in the said criminal case, there is no impediment for considering his application for grant of fresh passport. 3. Since no counter-aﬃdavit is ﬁled by the respondent, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition with the following directions. 4. The petitioner shall ﬁle a fresh representation with reference to his passport ﬁle No.Z-204389/2009 as well as by giving reference to the communication of the Regional Passport Oﬃcer dated 26.9.2010 and produce the authenticate copy of the order of II Special II Class Magistrate, Warangal, delivered in S.T.C.No.481 of 2009, along with the said representation within two weeks from today and on such representation being ﬁled the respondent shall consider the same and pass appropriate orders thereon in accordance with law expeditiously. 5. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is disposed of. No order as to costs. ____________________________ VILAS V. AFZULPURKAR,J 05.12.2011, Gk. HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE VILAS V.
