Kangana Ranaut gets relief from HC in passport case after authority assures speedy consideration of renewal application | Hindi Movie News – Bollywood – Times of India

After getting booked under sedition charges by the Bandra Police, actress Kangana Ranaut recently approached the Bombay High Court to renew her passport, which is scheduled to expire in September, claiming that the passport authorities refused to do the same on account of the same FIR with sedition charges registered against her. Now, while giving some relief to the actress, the Regional Passport Office has told the Bombay High Court that they will speed up renewing the actress’s passport once she makes the requisite corrections in her application for the key travel document. Post which, the court has now dismissed her plea and instructed Kangana to make necessary corrections to the application. Reportedly, the Passport Authority’s counsel asked the actress to give in writing that no criminal case was pending against her in any court. To which Kangana’s lawyer informed the court that while Kangana is named in two FIRs, no court proceedings are on in either case. Well, earlier the actress sought an urgent hearing for it as she needs to travel for the shooting of her upcoming film but the Bombay High Court refused her plea and called her application ‘vague’, which also didn’t include the authorities as a party. The court said, ‘It is just a film. The schedule can be changed. She should have been more vigilant. If there was urgency, she would have approached you with all the details. Your application is vague.’ For the unversed, last year on October 20, Bandra Police filed a sedition case against the actress and her sister Rangoli Chandel after the court had ordered the police to investigate a complaint filed by Bollywood casting director and fitness trainer Munawwar Ali Sayyed referring to tweets and other statements of Ranaut and her sister. Meanwhile, on the work front, the actress is waiting for the release of her much-awaited film ‘Thalaivi’.
