My Passport Re-Issue application (File No. PAV076193114225) has been unjustly kept pending since 21-11-2025 with the status:
“Police Verification Report is under review at RPO Patna.”
This is despite full legal compliance from my side and a CLEAR Police Verification Report already completed and digitally forwarded to RPO Patna.
✅ VERIFIED FACTS
✔ Police Verification completed & clear – no adverse remarks
✔ All documents verified at PSLK Darbhanga (14-11-2025)
✔ Personal verification completed at RPO Patna (,18/11/2025)
✔ Follow-up visit at RPO Patna (21-11-2025)
✔ No objection, no query, no deficiency letter ever issued
Yet, for over 8 DAYS the file has been kept at:
“PVR under review at RPO”
No written explanation provided.
No lawful justification recorded.
No response to emails sent repeatedly to
@rpopatna.
⚖️ CLEAR VIOLATION OF LAW
This continuing delay directly violates:
📘 Passport Rules 2023 – Rule 5
Mandatory duty of Passport Authority to dispose applications promptly
➡️ Files cannot be withheld without recorded reasons.
📘 Rules 22 & 23 – Passport Rules 2023
Once PVR is CLEAR, the application must move:
GRANT ➝ PRINT ➝ DISPATCH
There is NO discretion to hold a clear file indefinitely.
📘 MEA Citizen’s Charter 2023
Guarantees:
✔ Time-bound processing
✔ Transparency
✔ Communication of status
Complete silence from RPO Patna is itself service deficiency.
📘 Administrative Accountability Framework – MEA
Any delay must be:
▪️ Documented
▪️ Communicated in writing
▪️ Legally justified
None of this has been done in my case.
NON-RESPONSE BY RPO PATNA
Despite continuous mails to:
📩 rpo.patna@mea.gov.in
ZERO replies received.
This itself breaches:
• MEA Communication Protocols
• Citizen Right to Information
• Public Servant Conduct Rules
✈️ EXTREME HARDSHIP CAUSED
I am on short sanctioned leave from Kingdom of Saudi Arabia for passport renewal.
✔ I hold a valid Exit–Reentry Visa
✔ My overseas job depends on immediate return
✔ This unlawful delay has caused:
⚠️ Risk of employment termination
⚠️ Financial loss
⚠️ Emotional and family distress
All this despite total compliance with every legal requirement.
❌ NO LEGAL PENDING ISSUE
There is:
🚫 No adverse PVR
🚫 No incomplete document
🚫 No investigation
🚫 No pending verification
There is ZERO lawful reason for keeping my file stalled.
🔔 MY APPEAL TO MEA
I respectfully seek urgent intervention from:
@MEAIndia @DrSJaishankar @CPVIndia @passportsevamea @IndianDiplomacy
@rpopatna @PMOIndia @DoPTGoI @VigilanceGov
REQUESTED ACTION (AS PER LAW)
I request directions for:
✔ Immediate closure of “PVR under review” stage
✔ Movement of File No. PAV076193114225 to:
GRANT ➝ PRINT ➝ DISPATCH
✔ Written status update with reasons (as mandated)
✔ Enforcement of Passport Rules 2023 timelines
✔ Accountability review of avoidable delay at RPO Patna
FINAL SUBMISSION
I am asking for nothing extraordinary.
I am asking only for:
THE SERVICE WHICH THE LAW ALREADY GUARANTEES.
A passport is a statutory right, not a discretionary privilege.
Delays without lawful reason violate:
Rule of Law – Natural Justice – Citizen’s Right to Services
Please ensure immediate lawful processing.
