The Passports Act, 1967 does not exhaust every form of travel-related restriction, so office memoranda are not invalid merely because the Act exists. However, extending LOC-requesting authority to chairmen, managing directors and chief executive officers of public sector banks is said to create an irrational, unguided classification and to expose borrowers to coercive restraint without adequate safeguards.
