1978 (1) TMI 161 - SC - Indian Laws

Whether public interest will or will not be served by a particular order to be passed under a valid law subject, as it always is, to judicial supervision - Held that:- Petitioner is not entitled to any of the fundamental rights enumerated-in Article 19 of the Constitution and that the Passport Act complies with the requirements of Art. 21 of the Constitution and is in accordance with the procedure established by law. I construe section 10(3)(c) as providing a right to the holder of the passport to be heard before the passport authority and that any order passed under section 10(3) is subject to a limited judicial scrutiny by the, High Court and the Supreme Court.
