False FIR filed under Sec 498A by sister in law. Charge sheet has been filed in magistrate court but charges are not framed as yet. All accused have received regular bail. NO TRAVEL RESTRICTIONS FOR ME. I have to apply for re-issue of passport as pages have expired. Please clarify what I should respond to for the following questions in the passport application form and police verification form:
1) Passport application form qt: Have you ever been charged with criminal proceedings or any arrest warrant/ summon pending before a court of India?
2) Police verification form qt: Any criminal proceedings pending against you before any court in India?
Getting passport re-issued for full tenor is v critical for my job as I have to travel overseas frequently (which is why no travel restrictions placed by court). So please advise. I am planning to apply for discharge also.
