• My passport has been issued but police verification report is adverse

Hi! 

I reside in Delhi and applied for reissue of passport as my old passport is due to expire in Jan 2018. After furnishing all the documents at PSK, my old passport was cancelled and was informed I will get a new passport. Within a week’s time I got my new passport without police verification. Later I called up Enquiry officer to check if he will be visiting my place for verification to which he mentioned that he can not process my application as it is incomplete. He said that my address is not complete as I have not mentioned the locality to which I tried to explain that I have my Aadhaar made under same address n also received the passport but he was very adamant and said he can not verify incomplete address. Now my police verification shows adverse and I have no clue what to do next. Also I have an appointment for Visa with Bahamas, US consulate for stamping of Visa on 7th Nov and week after I have to travel to US for work. Can someone please help me out with the following: 
What step should be taken now?
Do I need to reapply for my passport?
Can someone from my family visit the RPO on my behalf to complete the process?
What will happen to my new passport?
Can I get a Visa stamped on my new passport as PSK has put a cancelled stamp on mybold passport?

In the absence of a clear report from the police, the regional passport office (RPO) may summon you and in such a case, you'll to appear before passport officials to explain the point on which the police submitted an adverse report.

You need not be worried with this. You can continue to use your fresh passport. At anytime you receive a summon from RPO, you may either appear in person or send your explanation through a registered post. If the RPO finds your explanation sufficient, he'll reinitiate Police Verification.

For now, you may get your passport stamped and you needn't worry for you haven't indulged in an act of fraud or misrepresentation.

1. well,it was reissue of the passport for which polcie verification is not mandatroy.

2.So when new passport was issued without police verification there was no need to run after the police.

3.However since adverse report is already submitted by police the passport can either cancel the issuance or allow it to operate without any hindrance.

4. So on the basis of the present passport you can proceed to give interview for visa.

5.if passport is cancelled you can challenge the police report in high court.

In my advise you may proceed with the passport that has been issued to you without any worries as you are not doing any forgery.

Also if on the basis of the police report the RPO summons you then you may appear in person ot through some other person.

In any case if the passport is canceled (probability of which is 0) you may approach the High Court directly to challenge the same.

Do I need to reapply for my passport?

No, you have to visit the passport officer and seek an appointment to give reply to show cause notice.

Can someone from my family visit the RPO on my behalf to complete the process?

What will happen to my new passport?

It would be better that you visit personally

Can I get a Visa stamped on my new passport as PSK has put a cancelled stamp on mybold passport?

If your old passport is not valid anymore and the new passport is under cloud, you may have to clear the issuance of passport first and then go for visa stamping otherwise the visa stamping may not take place.
