Hi, Hon'ble High Court of MP quashed all of the criminal proceedings against my family and I in February this year. However, the district court judge has been postponing the final hearing by a month every time there has been a hearing date scheduled for him to drop all charges against me based on the order passed by the Honorable High Court.
In the meantime, I filed for passport renewal last week and have scheduled an appointment at the PSK for next week as my career aspirations require me to have my passport ready and available for international travel.
I have declared the status of the criminal charges against me in my passport application and I am going to produce the 482 order before the Passport Office on my next scheduled appointment. My concern is that the criminal case is yet to be quashed by the judge of the district court (and thereby execute the HC order).
Does this situation prevent me from getting my passport renewed during police verification, etc? If yes, is there a mechanism for me to follow that would help me avoid getting my renewal application get rejected by the RPO?
I'd truly appreciate some expertise on this situation.
