1. The petitioner is facing trial for the alleged commission of an
offence punishable under Sections 8/21 of the NDPS Act, in
Session Case No. 23/2025, which is presently pending before the
learned Additional Sessions Judge, Didwana. During the pendency
of the trial, the petitioner moved an application before the learned
trial Court seeking permission for issuance/renewal of his passport
and for leave to travel abroad on certain stated grounds. The
learned trial Court, upon consideration of the said application,
allowed the same and granted liberty to the petitioner to apply for
issuance/renewal of his passport and to travel abroad, subject,

conditions, the said amount shall stand forfeited. The petitioner,
while not disputing the permission so granted, feels aggrieved by
the aforesaid condition requiring deposit of the FDR and has thus
invoked the jurisdiction of this Court to assail the legality and
propriety of Condition No. 11 incorporated in the order under
challenge.
