The court can judge the gravity of the offence for which an accused is being tried
by it; and while exempting him/her from personal appearance or not objecting to
his/her visit abroad, impose certain conditions e.g., ask for additional bail sureties,
etc. to ensure that the accused does not escape the punishment that may be
prescribed under the law;
(iii)
In a case in which the court feels that a person should not be allowed to go
abroad, it can pass orders to that effect under sections 6(2)(g) and 10(3)(h) of the
Passport Act, 1967;
(iv)
For restoration of passport facilities, it should be considered if the visit of the
accused is likely to bring some benefit to the country e.g., foreign exchange,
foreign collaboration, export promotion, etc.;
(v)
Grant of passport facilities is entirely the responsibility of the Government of
India. There should, however, be no objection to the courts granting certificates
for ―exemption from personal appearance‖ or ―no objection to proceed abroad, for
short periods‖ during the pendency of the case.

If it is not possible for District Judges to devote sufficient time to the disposal of
cases submitted by the State Vigilance Department, they may allot such cases to one
senior Additional Sessions Judge, with directions to dispose of those cases on priority
basis.

Administrative Reforms Commission be complied with strictly and it be ensured that the
