How can I obtain my passport despite the ongoing case?

I am from Andhra Pradesh. In 2017, I leased 10 acres of land for ten years from a woman. In 2021, she filed a calendar case against three of us under IPC sections 323, 506, and 509. I have not missed any hearing dates since the case began. My concern now is that I received an opportunity to work abroad, but my passport application was rejected due to this ongoing case. I am requesting your guidance on how I can obtain my passport and if there is any possibility for me to go abroad for work. This situation has significantly impacted my career. Please help me.

To obtain your passport while facing an ongoing criminal case, you can file a petition in the court where the case is pending, requesting a “no objection” certificate for passport issuance. Present your consistent attendance in hearings as evidence of your cooperation with the legal process. The court may consider your circumstances and potentially grant permission, especially if the charges are not severe. Once you have the court's approval, you can reapply for your passport.
