Overview

  • Special Judge Dig Vinay Singh issued the no-objection certificate on June 4, allowing renewal of Kejriwal’s passport expired since 2018.
  • Both the CBI and ED opposed a decade-long renewal, with the CBI recommending a five-year limit and the ED objecting to a full 10 years.
  • The order clarifies that passport authorities retain discretion under the Indian Passports Act in granting or refusing renewal applications.
  • The no-objection certificate remains valid for three months, after which Kejriwal must complete the formal renewal process.
  • Kejriwal continues to face corruption and money laundering charges in the Delhi excise policy cases and must secure court permission before traveling abroad.
