Passport siezed in 498a case

kiran (Querist) 21 November 2010 This query is : Resolved
Hi All,

My passport is siezed in 498a case in year 2006.
Now my company wants me to go abroad for a period of 3 months.
One of my colleague told me I will need some sort of letter from my company that I am going abroad for project work.

Could you please tell me
1. What if my company does not give me such letter
2. What should be content of such letter.
3. How many days will it take to get my passport back
4. How much deposit will I be asked.

Please suggest me the ideal route to take back my passport.

Thanks and Regards,
Kiran

Where is the Passport lying ? I beleive it is now under the custody of the Police. If in your case the charge sheet has already been submitted then I do not think you should get any difficulty to get back the Passport once you file petition to the Magistrate on that direction.
Otherwise you would need a letter from the company that it indends to send you abroad in connection with some assignment for some limited time so that the court grants you leave to leave the country for that period of time.
