Your query is not clear about the facts however, case can be registered against such person under Section 12 of The Indian Passports Act 1967, which entails a five-year jail term and a penalty of Rs. 50,000.

A ordinary citizen can not keep two passports. If he holds his passport will be impound or revoke. Criminal action may be taken for surpressing details. Passport is a Government of India's property.

Dear sir,

Against the passport holder the court sent a summon for MC case under Cr P 125 and dismissal of divorce petition against respondant due to non appearance of the court and Exparty order issued by the Family coutr on Conjugual rights.  Can the passport Authority can take against action under passport act 1967 under (f & g). Also hide the facts while renewal can be peanalised against him

Hi, I would like to ask if any one can solve this problem. Is it any way a crime that during visit to some other country like europe my wife is carrying my passport with her including her passport by mistake, is it offensive or strictly prohibited according to indian law?

My friend has recently got married.She wants to apply for a new passport because previously she had a passport bearing the name of her ex husband and she doesn't want to disclose these details to her new husband.Regarding her previous marriage details she is still not married to her ex husband as per hindu customs. Just that they had court registered marriage certificate and hence applied for passport.she has no divorce certificate in respect to her ex husband.Now that she wants a new passport in name of her present husband without disclosing her previous details what should she do??

Please reply. very urgent !!!

Both my wife and I  applied for the reissue (renewal) of our passports.  I am 82 years old and my wife 72.  My passport was reissued without police verification.  During the police verification of my wife's application, I refused to yield to the unreasonable demand of the police with the result the police gave an adverse report.  My wife has received a letter from the passport authority asking her to clarify her position.  There are two charges levelled against her.  Both of them are false and baseless.  Can I ask for a copy of the Police Verification Report and the evidence adduced by the police (under the rules of natural justice) before my wife submits her clarifications and to rebut the baseless charges?   Is there any other remedy available to me?  Please advise.
