https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=797513 Passport renewal for an accused on bail under the Central Goods and Services Tax Act should not be restricted below the regular ten-year term without a plausible justification, substantive harm, or reasonable apprehension of absconding. Continuing conditions requiring prior court permission for foreign travel and monitoring safeguards apply regardless of passport validity. Family ties, residence, business, and immovable property in India materially reduce absconding risk. Renewal was therefore directed for the regular ten-year period, subject to all existing conditions governing foreign travel and passport use. en-us Thu, 20 Aug 2026 00:00:00 +0530 Sat, 22 Aug 2026 10:33:32 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=797513 Passport renewal for an accused on bail under the Central Goods and Services Tax Act should not be restricted below the regular ten-year term without a plausible justification, substantive harm, or reasonable apprehension of absconding.
