sub-sections covered by Section 10 of the Act.
Power to revoke a passport or travel document,

the Act or Rules, that alone, conferred on the

passport or travel document. 'Revocation' only
means annulling, rescinding or withdrawing (See
Pradip Kumar Das v. State of West Bengal (AIR
1974 SC 2151) whereas 'impound' means to keep in

will not enable it to impound a passport since
such impounding is provided and can be done,
only under Section 10(3) of the Passports Act.
