This query is : Resolved
Hi,I have been issued a Tatkalpassport by Bhopal office in 2007 after that i have moved to Pune for job.In 2009 i have got a communication from passport office for verification of address and i have given my report to police station also and my father has sent a letter to passport office bhopal too.
Now after 4 years last friday my father has received a registered letter from passport office stating that they have not recieved any reply on communication sent on 2009 and hence they are imponding my passport.
i just want to know what should i do now.as today i have sent a letter along with attachment of reply sent by us on 2009.
my question is if hey might have not reciveed or overlooked my reply sent on 2009 they should have recived police verification certificate atleast.and moreover after 4 years without sending any reminder how they can revoke or impound my passport
Regards

This is not a case for impounding passport.
Make a writiten representation. If it still does not react them file Writ petition in the high court.
