Dear Experts,
I have some concerns. This with regards to issues with my marriage. I am currently in UK for last 2.5 yrs and hold my visa till May 2013, when I will have to go for renewal. My concerns is that my in law has influence in local police and he has been trying to control me as per his will. Now if I decide to seek divorce, he may try to registerd either 498a case against me or some other false criminal case. They dont have current address.
1, is it possible that he can get my passport revoked based on that.
2, I will be renewing my current passport in next 15 days. so the new passport would be valid till next 10 yrs. so will I have to leave the UK or would be deported if they issue NBW against me and revoke my passport
2, AM I really safe untill I stay in UK and not return to India.
Please advice.
Regards
Rajesh

1.No , only Passport Authority has power to cancel a passport.
2. Depends upon the nature of the ccase. India and UK has extradition treaty though in matrimonial disputes the countries do not invoke extradition treaty as the same involves lot of cost and time.
3. Yes
However if you are arrested while in India then the court may pass necessary order like submitting the passport to the local police or directing you not to leave without the permission of the court.
