passport was obtained in year 2000 valid till 2005. it was renewed abroad in 2005 as staying there at that time.
in 2009 court orders to impound the passport. The passport that the court ordered to impound was the old passport number which expired in 2005 and was renewed.
the passport office noted the impounding against the old passport. what is the effect of noting the impounding, in 2009, against the old passport which expired in 2005 and was renewed in 2005? does the impounding noted against the old passport extend to the new passport in the records of the ministry of external affairs, passport division.?
whether the passport office should have returned the court order to the court on the ground that an expired passport cannot be impounded?
