For renewal of passport the police clearance certificate is essential.

If there is a criminal case pending against you then the police will submit an adverse report.

Hence you may have to disclose the pending case status in your applicaiton for reissue of passport after which the passport authorities will direct you to obtain permission from concerned court to renew your passport.

You cannot get police verification and your passport will not be renewed.

Embassy people never renew your passport since An LOC is issued to make sure that an individual who is absconding or wanted by law enforcement agencies is not able to leave the country. It is mostly used at immigration checkpoints at international airports and seaports by the immigration branch.
