O R D E R

This Writ Petition is filed challenging the proceedings, dated 12.07.2016 issued by the respondent.

2. Perusal of the impugned proceedings would show that it is only a notice calling upon the petitioner to provide suitable explanation and furnish details regarding circumstances under which she has suppressed the material information in her passport application. When such being the proceedings, I do not think that the petitioner is justified in approaching this Court and filing this writ petition, without giving explanation to the respondent and explaining the circumstances under which the details were furnished in the passport application. Therefore, I find that the https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/

present writ petition is not maintainable against the impugned notice.

3. Accordingly, this Writ Petition is dismissed without going into the merits of the matter, only on the ground of maintainability. However, the petitioner is given liberty to give the explanation before the respondent, within a period of fifteen days from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. It is open to the petitioner to make all the submissions before the respondent. No Costs. Consequently, connected Miscellaneous Petition is closed.
