ORDER:
This is a revieu, application fired by tli<, vrit petitioner in W.P.No.36 I 5I o1 2025, se cking rcview ol the Ord,:r- clatccl 18. 12.,2025 passcd in thc t rit pe tition. By the L)rdcr under r :viciv, this Court disposed of thc u'rit pcririon, by considering the ( ) .der passed by a coorclinate Bench of this Court in W.p. No. 24(>() ) ol- 2025, clatccl 03-09.2025, dircctcd the respondent No.2-passport , uthority [o rssue passport to Lhc pctitioncr subject to certain condition:. '2. l{eard Mr. ll.

Bhujanga Rao, iearned l)eputy S;r licit.r General of India, lcrr rcspondent Nos. I and 2. perused thc recorcl.
3. Learned counscl lor the rcview petitioner essentialll'contends that the petitioner q,as directed by the respondent No.2-passport authority to surrender the passport within 15 days, and the petitioner lrad rn fact assailed that direction of surrender of passport; however, apparcntly inadverlently, a clerical error appears to have crept into the order under review, wherein the conditions in w.P. No. 24690 0f 202t u.ere extracted which relate to issuancc / reneu,al of passport. It is contended that the petitioner is already in possession of passport and therefore thc only condition that coultl apply to the petitioner is obtaining of abroad travcl permission, in case the petitioner intends to travcl abroad during pendency of criminal proceedings in C.C. No. 8266 of 2O2O on thc file oi XVII Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, Hyderabad, at Nampall5''
l,earned Standing Counsel does not dispute the submissions made by thc petitioner's counse[.
5. Considering the clerical error in the Order dated 18 12'2025, this Court deems it appropriate to recall the order, and modify the same in the intcrest of justice.
6. Accordingly, review petition is allowed and Order dated 1g.12.2025 in W.P. No. 3615I ol 2025 stands recalled. The Surrcnder Certificate pursuant to the impugned letter dated Ol 09'202 I is set aside. Furthcr, considering that the petitioner is already in possession of passport, and in light of the pcnding criminal proceedings in C C No' 8266 of 2OJ0 belore the trial Court, it is made clear that in casc the ,/ ./
petrtioner intends to travel abroad during pe r lency of criminal proceedings, he shall file a separate application slr king permission to travel abroad, bv specifl,ing the purpose and duratr: I of travr:I, and the trial Court shall <:onsider the application on its ou,n nerits, b1, imposing appropriate conditions in accordance with law, it lermission is being grantcd. Needless to mention that the trial Cour shall proceed in accordancc with law to secure the presence of thr. l ltitloner in case ol violation of any of the conditions so imposed u,h i e granti.g abroad travel pcrmission.
