No. 1479 of 2010 .................................... Dated: 26th day of May, 2010 ORDER Petitioner who is the accused in Crime No. 98 of 2010 of Taliparamba Police Station for an offence punishable under Sec. 419 I.P.C. and Section 12 (1) (b) of the Passport Act challenges Annexure A3 order dated 23-2-2010 passed by the J.F.C.M. Taliparamba dismissing his application under Section 451 Cr.P.C. for getting interim custody of the passport seized in this Case. 2. The passport in question was seized by the officials on the allegation that the petitioner had obtained the passport by impersonation and showing the address of another person. The passport itself is a vital document to be considered during the trial of the case. Hence, the same cannot be returned. The order of the learned Magistrate does not call for interference by this Court. Annexure A4 order as per which the learned Magistrate refused to lift the condition while granting bail that the petitioner shall not leave India also does not call for interference since the petitioner cannot leave the territory of India when his passport, although obtained by impersonation, is in the custody of the Court. This Crl.M.C. is accordingly, dismissed . V.RAMKUMAR, JUDGE.
