Trending

SRINAGAR: Jammu & Kashmir High Court ordered Thursday revival of Kashmir studentâs passport so that she can complete her MBBS in Iran.The authorities had impounded Ibra Khanâs passport based on a CID adverse report about an FIR against her father in 1997, although she was born in 2005. The report cited âaspersionsâ against Khanâs father in relation to the case and âapprehensions that she may join anti-India forcesâ.âThis court has the highest concern towards the security of the country. In a very limited intervention and keeping in view that the appellant (student) has completed half her MBBS, we dispose of the appeal by directing that the passport be revived for the remaining period of her course,â a division bench of Chief Justice Pushpendra Singh Bhati and Justice Wasim Sadiq Nargal said.Khan is pursuing MBBS at Tehran University of Medical Sciences. She was issued a passport in Oct 2024 but received showcause notices March 27, 2026 and April 9, 2026 from passport authorities over her fatherâs case before her passport was impounded on May 4, 2026.Khan moved the HC but a single-judge bench dismissed her petition saying it found no reason to interfere in the decision by authorities and citing an alternative remedy of appeal under Passports Act, 1967.
