Orissa HC Rules Denial of Passport NOC Over Disciplinary Case Violates Doctor’s Right to Travel and Liberty - Video

The Orissa High Court bench recently directed the State government authorities to issue No Objection Certificates (NOC) to a government doctor for obtaining a passport, as it held that refusing to grant a passport on the ground of pending disciplinary proceedings amounts to infringement of the fundamental right to personal liberty guaranteed under Article 21 of the Constitution.

The High Court's ruling came while allowing a plea filed by a doctor who had challenged the Government's decision not to grant him an NOC for a passport on the unauthorised absence and pendency of departmental and vigilance proceedings.
