INTRODUCTION
In Satwant Singh Sawhney v. Union of India (W.P. No. 236 of 1966) the
Supreme Court of India has held inter alia that the right to travel abroad is a part
of a person's personal liberty of which he could not be deprived of except
according to procedure established by law in terms of article 21 of the
Constitution and as there was no law establishing such procedure, the
India. To replace the Ordinance of 1967 the Passports Bill was introduced in the
Parliament.
STATEMENT OF OBJECTS AND REASONS
Prior to the decision of the Supreme Court in Sdtwdnt Singh Sawhney v. The
Union of India (W.P. No. 236 of 1966), passports were issued by the Government
in the exercise of its executive power to conduct foreign relations. A passport was
President of India to the Governments of, or authorities in foreign countries
requesting them to afford facilities of safe travel to the holder in their territories
bring into play the relations between India and the foreign countries concerned.
Government might have to protect his interests abroad visa—ms the foreign State
and might also have to arrange his repatriation to India at public expense, should
he become destitute or a public charge. For all these and other reasons such as
absolute discretion in the matter of issuance of passports would also be violative
of article 14 of the Constitution. It thus became urgently necessary to regulate the

be, refuse to make on the passport or travel document any
endorsement.
(3) Where the passport authority makes an order under clause (b) or clause
(c) of sub—section (2) on the application of any person, it shall record in writing
a brief statement of its reasons for making such order and furnish to that person
on demand a copy of the same unless in any case the passport authority is of the

COMMENTS
(i) Application for grant of passport by child taken in adoption by adoptive mother
cannot be refused on the ground of subsequent marriage of the adoptive mother as
subsequent marriage of adoptive mother does not invalidate the adoption; Narinderjit
Kaur v. Union of India, AIR 1997 P&H 280.
(ii) The jurisdiction of the Regional Passport Officer to issue passports extends to
applications made by persons ordinarily residing in the territories over which he has
jurisdiction. In a case where the minor petitioners and their parents are permanent
residents of a particular city, the mere fact the petitioners have been sent away to study
in a boarding school, within another jurisdiction, cannot render them as being persons
”ordinarily residing” in that other jurisdiction; Harmeet Iawrmdha v. Union of India, AIR
1991 P&H 288.
