Passport renewal can't be denied only based on negative police report: HC

Rajasthan High Court overturns passport denial based solely on a negative police report. The court mandates authorities to investigate an applicant's background before refusal. A woman, Savitri Sharma, gets her passport renewed after facing nationality doubts. The court instructed passport issuance within eight weeks. Sharma's lawyer confirmed her Indian citizenship and the previous passport's expiry.
