💨 Abstract

The Delhi High Court has ruled that mere pendency of a criminal case does not disqualify an individual from seeking long-term opportunities abroad. The court directed passport authorities to issue a police clearance certificate (PCC) to a man with pending criminal cases, who needed it for a Canadian business visa. The court emphasized that the petitioner's rights must be balanced with the authorities' obligations, and the PCC should mention the pending criminal cases against him.
