This query is : Open
can a family court or a immigration desk at Airport are empowered to seize or impound :
a. passport of an Indian Citizen
b.Passport of a foreign citizen (PIO)
Passport act says that other than passport officer others don't have the powers but there are hearsay and rumours that central govt. have issued a G.O. empowering the family courts.
can I be enlightened on this?
