Single parent entitled to apply for minor child's passport, consent of spouse not must, says high court
Saturday, 28 December 2024 () Telangana High Court ruled a single parent with custody can obtain a child's passport without the other parent's consent. Justice Moushumi Bhattacharya set aside a contrary requirement, finding it unnecessary. The 1980 Passport Rules allow this if the custodial parent provides prescribed information. This applies even if parents are separated but not formally divorced.
K. T. Rama Rao (KTR), the Working President of Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) and Sircilla MLA, was summoned by the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) for questioning in connection with the Formula-E race case. However, his advocates were not permitted to accompany him, leading to his return from the ACB office. The investigation, which relates to allegations under the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988, and the Indian Penal Code, has sparked a legal dispute. KTR has challenged the procedural issues of the FIR and petitioned the Telangana High Court, urging that the summons be deferred until the court’s verdict. Meanwhile, ACB is set to issue fresh notices for further questioning.
