Apply for passport and visa by retired govt officer - criminal case pending against him

A retired government officer facing a pending corruption case for four years is seeking to obtain a passport and visa. While obtaining these documents may be challenging until the case is resolved, there are potential legal avenues. Applying for the passport is the first step, and if refused, a writ petition to the court might be considered. The court could potentially allow the passport issuance under certain conditions, such as executing a bond. However, international travel would likely require explicit court permission for each trip until the case is concluded.
