Here's a straightforward tale of a man named Ramkumar who went to court because he really needed his passport. After some back-and-forth with the legal system, the court decided in his favor. Let's dive into the details!
Ramkumar wanted a passport and filed an application on September 11, 2025. But there was a problem—his application wasn't being processed. So, he took the matter to court, asking for help to get his passport issued quickly.
The issue seemed to be a past criminal case. However, the court learned from the Government Lawyer that this case was already closed, and no other cases were pending against Ramkumar. This was a crucial point in his favor.
"The criminal case registered against the petitioner has already been closed by the appropriate Court."
Judge M. Dhandapani, who was handling the case, ordered the Regional Passport Officer to process Ramkumar's application. The court instructed them to check with the police to confirm there were no pending cases. If everything was clear, they were to issue the passport within two weeks.
The court's decision was clear and straightforward. They wanted the passport office to act fast, ensuring Ramkumar got his passport without any more delays.
"The first respondent shall issue the passport in favor of the petitioner immediately thereafter, and in any case, within a period of two weeks."
In the end, the court sided with Ramkumar, ensuring that his passport application would be processed swiftly. This case shows how the legal system can help sort out delays and ensure fairness is achieved.
