Bombay High Court orders issuance of passport to minor in parental dispute case

India Today  

The Bombay High Court on Thursday provided relief to a 16-year-old student from Pune who is aspiring to attend an international academic programme in Japan, by clearing the way for the issuance of a passport to her. Advocate Balasaheb Ligade, appearing for the girl's mother, argued that the ongoing marital disputes, including domestic violence cases and divorce proceedings, made it impractical to seek her estranged husband’s approval for the passport. Despite the legal provision in place for the issuance of a passport to a minor in these kinds of cases, the Regional Passport Office insisted on obtaining the father's consent, issuing a communication on November 18, 2024, that halted the application process. Observing that a mechanical approach by passport authorities could have severe consequences for the students' future, the court set aside the communication from the Regional Passport Office.
