Procedure for permission for passport during a criminal case

Dear Sir/Madam,

I have a criminal case going against me, with offences IPC 420, 406,465,471,468. I dont have a passport yet & would like to apply for permission from the court to get a passport, since i need to travel to Germany to visit my girlfriend. When I asked my lawyer about he says , that the court needs a vaalid reason for granting permission & "to meet my girlfrnd" cant be a valid reason. So my Lawyer asked me to get some letter from German Embassy stating some official reason.

I need to know , if it is true that i need to furnish a valid reason (from german embassy) to the court to grant me permission to get a passport???? & if it is true that i need to get it from german embassy, what kind of letter would it be. Please help me.

Regards,

Kiran

Sir,

show some genuine reason to travel abroad, u don't need a reason from the embassy ... Satsisfy the court that u undertake u come back India within a stipulated period and give some surety to the court that u will come back and will not abscond.

Dear Kapil sir,

Thank you soo much for your reply, I am a business person, so can it be a business reason like, I need to visit my suppliers or customers abroad. If yes, will court ask me for me to prove my reason & what kind of documents may court ask me to prove this. Please Help.
