Order
21/07/2025
1. The present petition has been filed on behalf of the petitioner
seeking direction for issuance of passport and grant of
permission to travel abroad.
2. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and learned AGA
appearing on behlaf of the State as well as gone through the
niceties of the matter.
3. It is often apprehended that permitting an accused to travel
abroad during the pendency of a judicial proceeding may
result in his non-return, thereby jeopardizing the course of
trial. However, the present case stands on a different
[2025:RJ-JD:31983] (2 of 7) [CRLMP-5789/2025]
footing. The petitioner is facing only one criminal case,
wherein he has already been extended the benefit of
probation, a clear reflection of the reformative and
rehabilitative approach enshrined in our criminal justice
system.
