Jalour Singh-petitioner has filed this petition under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure (hereinafter referred to as 'Cr.P.C.') seeking quashing of order 12.6.2008 (Annexure P-5) passed by Judicial Magistrate Ist Class, Moga and order dated 17.2.2009 (Annexure P-6) passed by Additional Sessions Judge, Moga in revision vide which permission to release the passport of the petitioner was declined. Learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted that the petitioner requires the passport for immigration purposes. Petitioner would not leave the country without prior permission of the Court. A perusal of the order of the trial court (Annexure P-5) reveals that the Crl. Misc. No. M-6554 of 2009 -2- application for release of passport was declined as the petitioner had failed to produce the relevant documents on record in support of his plea. Learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted that all the necessary documents will be produced on record before the trial court by the petitioner. In these circumstances, keeping in view the ends of justice, impugned order dated 12.6.2008 (Annexure P-5) passed by Judicial Magistrate Ist Class, Moga and order dated 17.2.2009 (Annexure P-6) passed by Additional Sessions Judge, Moga are set aside. The trial court is directed to decide the application filed by the petitioner seeking release of his passport afresh by taking into consideration the necessary documents produced by the petitioner in support of his application. Petition stands disposed of accordingly. (SABINA) JUDGE March 20, 2009 PARAMJIT
