Respected sir/madam,
i'm technical graduate applied for passport and it was issued.but i have criminal track record of a bailable offense which is pending in high court for quash and it is a cross complaint and soon will get quashed. initially when i applied for passport i heard from someone that the person applying for passport should not be convicted under any criminal offense and if so should furnish the details of the case. i applied through a broker because of which cannot see the conditions and after entering in to passport office on the appointment date i came to know that even pending criminal cases should not be there. if any cases are there, need to furnish the details of the case.but at the last leg i was unable to reveal the information. now i'm scared that i did a mistake of suppression of facts which was not intentional.what are the steps or measures i can take to come out of this situation. please suggest !!!! no problem till now but wanted to correct my mistake.

If you want to correct the mistake then write an application to the passport office with the certified copies of the pending case with apology that due to misunderstanding, the fact of pendancy of the case could not be brought in the knowledge of the officials concerned and also in the application form and further also submit the expected result of the case.

Since it is issued I do not think mentioning the case would be of any help.
Only pray that the Passport authority would not come to know about the case.
Lots of applicant regularly conceal such trivial cases while applying for passport.

You have choose the advice of either Mr.Makkad sir or Mr.Barman. Do not apply for VISA to visit any country during the pendency of case. Corrective steps may land you in to trouble also.
