Issues involved: Petition under Section 482 Cr.P.C. to quash order dismissing application seeking permission to go abroad for official visit.
Summary: Issue 1: Permission to go abroad for official visit The petitioner sought permission to go abroad for an official visit to participate in a Regional Sales Meeting in the Middle East. The Court emphasized the presumption of innocence until proven guilty in criminal cases and the right of an individual to travel even when facing trial. Citing the precedent set in Naginder Singh Rana v. State of Punjab, the Court set aside the order declining permission and allowed the petitioner to travel to Dubai/Abu Dhabi for 5-6 days. The petitioner was required to furnish security of Rs. 4 lakhs with one surety to ensure his return to India by a specified date. Conclusion: The Court allowed the petitioner to go abroad for the official visit, subject to the conditions mentioned above, and directed him to return to India as specified. The petition was disposed of accordingly, with a copy of the order to be provided under the signatures of the Reader of the Court.
