my cousin sister got married in 2010. in 2013 she filed 498a and her husband filed for divorce.
her husbands passport is with her since 2013. but few days back she came to know that he went abroad.
on enquiry we came to know that he got NOC from the trail court for getting duplicate passport, and he filed a FIR copy stating that he LOST his passport.
we refe rred to passport act and it says that passport is government document. and obtaining passport thru fraud is offence.
so now can his passport be seized?
as it is it gets impounded once convicted, but any remedy earlier?
is it not crime to register false complaint with police and to cheat the court furnishing flse affidavit that he LOST the passport inspite of knowing that it is with his wife?
