CWP-31824-2025 (O&M), High Court, Chandigarh: writ petition seeking a mandamus directing the official respondents to renew the petitioner's passport by setting aside the letter dated 19.02.2025 (Annexure P-5) issued by the Regional Passport Office, Delhi. Learned counsel for the respondents informed the Court that the petitioner's earlier renewal application stood closed because the petitioner failed to respond to information/clarifications sought by the passport authorities. Counsel further submitted that a fresh application, duly supported by all requisite documents/information, would be considered and a final decision taken by the competent authority, in accordance with law, within eight weeks of submission. On that basis the Court directed that all pending application(s), if any, stand closed. The judgment text names no judges (coram), no parties or advocates by name, cites no statutes or precedents, and carries no explicit disposal recital; only an attestation timestamp (29.05.2026) appears.
