"(a)xxx

permanent disability to her lower limb. She is holding permanent residence status granted by the Government of USA. Her daughters are in the USA.

This Court granted permission on earlier occasions to the petitioner to go abroad and for that purpose the passport was released. Now, according to the petitioner, she wants to go to USA for the purpose of her treatment for a period of one year. It is alleged that, since the petitioner is having permanent residence status, the Government of USA is taking care of her treatment.
