Srinagar, July 16: A Srinagar court on Thursday permitted the issuance and renewal of a passport to National Conference president and former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Dr Farooq Abdullah, while making it clear that he cannot travel outside Jammu and Kashmir or abroad without prior permission from the competent court. The order was passed by the Court of the Additional Sessions Judge, Srinagar, on a petition filed by Abdullah seeking a No Objection Certificate (NOC) for renewal of his passport in connection with the pending Jammu and Kashmir Cricket Association (JKCA) funds misappropriation case being investigated by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI). The court directed the Regional Passport Officer, Srinagar, to consider issuing or renewing Abdullah's passport for a period of one year, subject to the condition that he is not involved in any other criminal case apart from FIR No.
