Passport Disputes
Writ petitions challenging passport impoundment, revocation, and denial under the Passports Act.
A passport is a fundamental document of identity and travel. Its wrongful impoundment, revocation, or denial can have severe consequences for a person's livelihood and family. We challenge such orders before the Passport Authority and the High Courts.
Our work covers writ petitions challenging orders of impoundment, revocation, and denial of passports under the Passports Act, 1967, and the rules made under it. We appear before the Regional Passport Offices and the Passport Authority in the first instance, and before the High Court of Andhra Pradesh where the administrative remedy is exhausted or inadequate.
We also act in Look-Out Circular challenges, where a person's name has been entered in the LOC database by the police or another authority, preventing travel. Emergency certificate applications for persons stranded abroad without a valid passport are handled on an urgent basis. We also advise on OCI and PIO card disputes, on the renunciation of Indian citizenship, and on the documentation required for passport applications where there is a dispute over identity or date of birth.
