Sir,

[1] Third party information can not be divulged without their consent, hence the information about Passport will be divulged only after the pemission of the third party.

[2] If, however, one can prove that the information about the Passport is necessary for the Public Good/Benefit, then the information can be divulged.

Regards,

Kishor Mehta

Desired information can be obtained only on the ground of larger public interest. and in your query prima facie is not.
