Cannot Act As Mouthpiece Of CID Jk HC Pulls Up Officer For Denying Passport to Mehboobas Mother

The Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh High Court slammed the Passport Office, Srinagar, for not considering the application of the mother of PDP chief Mehbooba Mufti, saying it “cannot act as the mouthpiece of the CID”.

The court said there appears “no ground to refuse issue or renewal of passport” requested by Mufti’s mother Gulshan Nazir. “(The) passport officer shall consider the entire matter afresh and pass orders thereon within a period of six weeks from the date the copy of this order is served upon the said respondent,” the court said in its judgment on Saturday, barely hours after Mehbooba mentioned the passport issue in a letter to Chief Justice of India Justice D Y Chandrachud.
