Impounding / revocation of passport

 

Dear Sir,

 

My passport was issued from Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh, in 2007 under Tatkal scheme. Due to some unavoidable reasons , I was not present at time of police verification. I received a show cause notice in 2008 from Passport Office to which I replied with full explanation and supporting documents. And requested Passport Office to send Verification again on the same address (attaching reply for your reference). I did not received any correspondence from Passport Office after that and also police verification did not happened.

 

SinceJan-2013, I am working and residing in Saudi Arabia on resident Permit.

 

My father has received a notice from Passport Office for Impounding/Revoking my passport at my Indian address mentioned on passport. 

 

Kindly request you to suggest next step to resolve this matter.

I have spoken to passport officer on phone. He is saying that passport may get impounded at airport. 

Can I apply for Police verification while abroad through Indian embessay?

Dear Sir,

As been rightly said by one of my brother lawyer you must move the High court with  petition seeking writ of certiorarified mandamus.

dont panic..first you have no criminal records on you, second you are working for a company there..

come to india..explain the situation to the passport officer and they will resend police verification..finish the verification and get back to saudi..take ten days leave there and fly to india..if required take a lawyer with you..
