Heard. The allegation levelled against the petitioner, who holds Oman passport No. 02385348, was that on 27.01.2010, he came to RGI Airport, Shamshabad to go to Muscut, along with two Indian women and on physical verification, the police personnel of Airport found five passports and paper visas and marriage certificates of two female Indian passengers, by name Zareena Begum and Farzana Begum, who were unable to disclose as and when their marriage was performed. Therefore, alleging violation of the Indian MEDX Visa Rules, the petitioner was apprehended and he was charged with the offences punishable under Sections 362, 366 and 420 IPC and Section 14 of the Foreigners Act. Prima facie, there are allegations against the petitioner herein. Therefore, this Court is not inclined to interfere with the trial of the case at this stage. However, liberty is given to the petitioner to raise all the contentions canvassed in this Petition before the trial Court by way of filing a discharge petition. The trial Court is directed to consider the material available on record and to pass appropriate orders, within a period of one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. If the petitioner is aggrieved by the order that may be passed, he is at liberty to challenge the same in an appropriate forum. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the passport of the petitioner is deposited with the trial Court and therefore, he requests that the custody of the same be given to the petitioner forthwith. Since the passport is deposited with the trial Court, the petitioner is at liberty to file an application before the trial Court seeking release of the same and on such application being filed, the trial Court may consider the same and pass orders considered appropriate thereon, in accordance with law. The Criminal Petition is, accordingly, disposed of. Miscellaneous petitions, if any, pending in this Criminal Petition shall stand closed. -------------------------------- JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO 3rd October 2011 Issue CC by tomorrow. ksld
