Parties Name Harvinder Singh ...PETITIONER VERSUS Union of India and another ...RESPONDENTS CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE JASBIR SINGH PRESENT: Mr. Manohar Dadwal, Advocate, for the petitioner. Mr. Surinder Sharma, Advocate, for the respondents. JASBIR SINGH, J. (oral) ORDER: This writ petition has been filed with a prayer to issue directions to respondent No. 2, to renew passport of the petitioner bearing No. A-2495324, application for which was moved on March 26, 2007. In reply, it has been stated that by making a misrepresentation, the petitioner made an attempt to get second passport issued. In view of that, his application has not been processed. By taking note of that objection on August 20, 2009, following order was passed by this Court: “It is apparent from the records that for making some misrepresentation in the year 1999, no action was initiated by the authorities against the petitioner. It is doubtful whether on that score alone passport can be declined to the petitioner after the expiry of period of ten years. Shri Sharma seeks time to get CIVIL WRIT PETITION NO. 19290 OF 2008 -2- instructions. On request, adjourned to August 24, 2009.” Shri Sharma states that penalty, as per law, for misrepresenting the facts shall be imposed on the petitioner and order shall be conveyed to him within two weeks. He further states that on deposit of penalty amount by the petitioner, renewed passport shall be issued within two months. In view of statement made, this writ petition has become infructuous and the same is disposed of accordingly. ( Jasbir Singh ) Judge August 24, 2009. DKC
