Just file an application in trial court for release of your passport. If necessity arise you may go abroad with the permission of court even during the pendency of the trial and case. You may also seek your permanent exemption of your appearance in court.

Sidharth sir, Thank you very much for your prompt reply..

Criminal Stay order cases has been quashed in the High Court, Family Court has to release the passport. Opposite party withdrawn the cases DVC and Miantenance.

While releasing passport from court, do I need any clearance from court or Reginal Passport Office or Police Station any clearnace certificate because it has been seized mode from last four years.

In case, If any of the passport document/ visa has been tored by opposite party then what action to be taken.

Thanking you in anticipation

You shall not be required to seek any approval or permission from regional passport office for getting released your passport from court.

Sir,

It if fine, my intention is, when police arrested me in the year 2013 SI has asked me to submit my passport, police took expired and renewed passport from me, did not even given any receipt.

they simply siezed my passport with out any court order in charge sheet.

If accidently in passport pages or visas pages has been missing then what action I can take on officials.

If the seizure of passport reflects in a seizure memo filed along with challan is sufficient to file an application in court for release of the same. If any page or visa is missing then just reply for the same. It would be difficult to ascertain that page or visa was missing due to the fault of the police.
