Gujarat High Court Rules on Passport Authority Jurisdiction

The Gujarat High Court has said that passport authorities cannot decide if someone can travel abroad.

Only trial courts can give that permission.

A man named Dhaval Sureshbhai Makwana asked the court to help him get a new passport, even though he has some criminal cases pending.

The court agreed and told the authorities to give him a passport that is valid for 10 years.

This is important because it sets a rule that passport authorities should not decide who can travel outside the country.
