The application was dismissed by impugned orders dated January 28th, 2008 (Annexure P4) and January 10th, 2009 (Annexure P5). Learned counsel for petitioner has urged that three FIRs; (i) FIR No.208 dated July 26th, 2006 under Sections 148, 427, 447, 511 read with Section 149 IPC, (ii) FIR No.298 dated October 01st, 2006 under Sections 148, 427, 447, 511 read with Section 149 IPC, and (iii) FIR No.299 dated October 02nd, 2006 under Sections 147, 148, 447 and 511 IPC, were registered in Police Station Sadar Hansi against the petitioner. Proceedings in all the three FIRs have been stayed by this Court, a fact, which is not in dispute. It has been further stated that petitioner requires the passport for the renewal Criminal Misc.No.M-3603 of 2011(O&M) [ 2 ] with an undertaking that he shall not leave the country without the prior permission of the Court. Since the proceedings have already been stayed and petitioner needs the passport for its renewal and he has also undertaken that he shall not leave the country without prior permission of the Court, there should not be any impediment in allowing the prayer made by the petitioner. Thus, petition is allowed and the impugned orders are set aside. The Trial Court is directed to release the passport after taking its photocopy on the record, with an undertaking that petitioner shall not leave the country without the prior permission of the Court.
