It is accordingly directed that on receipt of the passports as aforesaid, the Registrar General shall keep the passports of Shri Kuldeep Bishnoi S/o Late Shri Bhajan Lal in safe custody in a sealed cover. As and when the father of Respondent No.1 would require the said passports for certain genuine and valid reasons, the father of Respondent No.1 may apply to this Court for necessary permission. In the absence of any further order by this Court, the Registrar General shall not release the passports to Sh. Kuldeep Bishnoi. Learned counsel appearing for Respondent No.1 further undertakes voluntarily that within one week of Respondent No.1 reaching the Harvard College, Respondent No.1 shall surrender his passport with the concerned Authorities at the Office of the Indian Embassy in United States of America (‘USA’), which is located closest to the College/University where respondent no. 1 is going to study. The undertaking given on behalf of Respondent No.1 is accepted by this Court. It is directed that as soon as the Passport is surrendered by Respondent No.1, the concerned Authority / Officer at the Indian Embassy shall place the same in a sealed cover and retain in safe custody, until further orders passed by this Court or any other Court of competent jurisdiction, in India. Needless to state that in case Respondent No.1 requires the Passport for a genuine cause, he shall be at liberty to prefer an appropriate application before this Court.
