Accordingly, the present petition is disposed of with a direction that the Petitioner shall visit and meet the RPO, Delhi on 16^th August, 2024, at 11:00 AM with the copies of the NOCs and give the requisite undertaking. The RPO shall consider the same and process the request for issuance of the passport in terms of OM dated 10^th October, 2019.

Should the Petitioner furnish the revised NOC, pertaining to GR/2152/2010, specifying the period of validity by the concerned Court, the RPO may consider the request for extension of the validity of the passport. 6. With the above directions, the petition is disposed of.
