1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY ORDINARY ORIGINAL CIVIL JURISDICTION WRIT PETITION NO. 183 OF 2010 Firoz Jehanbux Kotwal. ... Petitioner. vs. The Chief Secretary, State of Maharashtra & Anr. ... Respondents. Ms. R.H. Bhandari for the petitioner. Mr. P.M. Rustomkhan for the Respondent No. 2. CORAM : J. N. PATEL & C.L. PANGARKAR, JJ. DATE : 9TH MARCH, 2010 P.C. : Heard. 2. This petition has been filed by the father who wants this Court to impound the passport of his daughter i.e. the respondent no. 2 on the ground that he is claiming maintenance from her. This cannot be a ground to impound the passport of a citizen though she may be 2 the daughter of the petitioner. No case is made out by the petitioner. We, therefore, dismiss this petition with the caution to the petitioner that in future he should not initiate such litigation against his daughter as this amounts to undue harassment. ( J. N. PATEL, J.) ( C.L. PANGARKAR, J.)
