1 - 5 of 5 (0.21 seconds)M. Kaja Mohaideen vs The Senior Intelligence Officer on 26 November, 2012
4. Learned counsel for the petitioner relying on
the judgment of the Madras High Court of Madhurai Bench
in Kaja Mohaideen v. The Senior Intelligence Officer
[2013 MLJ (CRL) 720] submits that passport cannot be
detained by the Customs Authority. However, the above
judgment refers to the power of the Passport
Authorities in impounding the passport. No doubt, I
am of the view that the Passports Act, 1967 is a self
contained Act and Customs Authorities have no power to
impound any passport.
