You can apply before the local Magistrate to get an order so your foreign travel may not be restricted. On that basis the police would give you no objection.

You need to approach the court with the application to give the No Objection Certificate from the court to apply for the passport since the criminal case of 498a is pending against you. The passport authorities also knows about this mence and your declaration with the NOC from the court will allow them to issue the passport even if there is the rule under Passports Act. If the lower court rejects the application, you need to go to the Higher Court.
