The Madras High Court Thursday set aside an order of the regional passport officer rejecting senior DMK leader Durai Murugan's application for re-issue of his passport and directed the authority to consider his plea in accordance with law.
When the petition of Murugan seeking a direction to re-issue his passport came up, Justice Pushpa Satyanarayana said, "... The application of the petitioner was rejected by the respondent on the ground that there were criminal cases pending against the petitioner (in magistrate court), which led to adverse profile report."
