I was acquitted in 498-a case from Sessions Court in May. My passport was held by JMFC since July 2010. Sessions court ordered release of bond securities.
I applied for release of bail bond and passport. Though State Lawyer appeared in JMFC court and gave statement that appeal in HC would not be filed, JMFC court is not releasing passport mentioning that appeal may be filed in HC by complainant (wife), hence he himself granted another date one month later.
I may kindly be noted that my wife files false Police complaint u/s 498-a in order to have my passport impounded and to ruin my career. The complaint at Police Station was vague, but prayer was very specific "Impound passport and not to allow me to travel abroad".
I am really frustrated at this Judicial System. How can I get my passport released? Can I file an application directly in the HC for release of passport? How? Under what section of CrPC?? What Article of Constitution of India?? Please help. In case there is a format of application, please provide.
Thanks in advance!
