Police Verification for Passport
1 year ago
My wife applied for passport, for police verification the policeman rather that visiting my house asked me on my mobile to meet him at some public place (his intention was to seek bribe). unfortunately at that time I along with my wife (passport applicant) were in train for going to bring my son studying at Bhubaneswar who met accident. I requested Policeman on phone that we will return after 3-5 days, hence do verify after our return. the policeman was the same person who sought bribe for passport of my son but I enforced him to give report without bribe. therefore he was malafide. in my wife's case, when he knew that we are going out and will return after 3-5 days, he came intentionally on same day and sought evidence from neighbours residing aside that he (policeman) came 4-5 times but we were not available. neighbors denied to sign by saying we are out of station for 3-5 days, you may come and verify thereafter. then the corrupt policeman got evidence from some other person living 10-15 houses away who is poor street vendor and signed on the report of policeman. Accordingly, Policeman submitted adverse report. I filed detailed complaint to Regional passport officer but nothing was done. Can I apply a fresh application ? please suggest
You can consider filing an RTI application with the Passport Seva Kendra, lodging a complaint with higher authorities, or applying for a fresh passport application. Ensure to provide all necessary details and explain the reason for the rejection of the previous application in the new application form. Keep all necessary documents as proof of your efforts to resolve the issue. It is unfortunate to hear about your experience with the corrupt policeman, and you can also consider bringing the matter to the notice of the Anti-Corruption Bureau or Central Bureau of Investigation. Please seek an expert legal advice over this matter.
You cannot swim against the system unless you are strong roots in the Society. Lodge complaint against such police man and file a Writ Petition for reviewing such adverse report.
