Big news coming in the context of Kangana Ranaut’s passport renewal controversy.
Earlier, we heard reports of the actress filing an interim application in the High Court citing that she needed to renew her passport as she has to travel to Budapest in Hungary.
As per PTI, Additional Solicitor General (ASG) Anil Singh, who appeared representing the Regional Passport Office (RPO), informed a bench of Justice SS Shinde and Justice Revati Mohite-Dere that Kangana Ranaut’s application, for instance, said she had criminal cases pending against her. Singh added that only a first information report or FIR had been lodged against her and criminal proceedings, in that case, were yet to begin.
Singh also told the HC that if Kangana’s counsel, advocate Rizwan Siddique clarified the issue before the court, and if Kangana made the necessary corrections in her application, the passport office would consider her plea. The bench reportedly accepted Singh’s statement.
