Dated 25th February, 2009
JUDGMENT
Koshy, Ag.C.J.
This appeal is filed against the interim order passed by the
learned single Judge. Learned single Judge directed the investigating
agency to return the passport seized from the petitioner as at that time no
proceedings were pending against the petitioner. It is the case of the
appellant that thereafter a report was filed making the petitioner as fifth
accused in a case. Whatever may be that, interim order against which this
appeal is filed has already been complied with. If passport is necessary,
appellant can approach the criminal court where the case is pending for
production of the passport, untrammelled by the interim order. However,
this will not prevent the investigating agency in takng further proceedings.
Appellant is also free to approach the learned single Judge for an early
disposal of the writ petition.
The appeal is disposed of accordingly.
