Official permission letter to travel abroad from court when an FIR is filed
Hi All,
I am Kumar, Age: 26, from Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh. I married in March 2019. But due to our differences we are staying separately since May 2021. I am working in a renowned IT company in India.
In March 2021, I got an onsite offer to Canada and my company started processing my Work Visa. As she is aware of it and wanted to create issues in my professional life, she filed a FIR with Sections 498-A-IPC, 3 and 4 of DP Act in the nearby Women Police Station. In the meanwhile, I got W1 Work Permit of Canada for 2 years.
Current Status of FIR: Under Investigation and Charge sheet created. Investigation Officer came to our home last month for enquiry.
Once she filed the FIR, she complained to my Company HR and they want to check with our Company's legal team to proceed forward for my onsite offer. As of now my travel is on hold and it would be resumed only after the FIR on me was closed. But this will be taking time.
On my manager request, the legal team is at least expecting an official Confirmation Letter to travel abroad from any of the concerned authorities like Police, Court etc.
In my preliminary research (Rakesh Kumar vs State on 24 March 2017), I found that we can get a permission from Court once the FIR is summoned to Court and after we get a CR Number.
But in my Case, still the FIR is in Investigation stage. I guess it would take around 6 – 12 months to get it summoned to Court. Waiting this period would be very costly for me as I am having only 2 years Work Permit. I haven't approached any Lawyer till now.
Can anyone Please help me in below queries,
1. Can we get any Official Permission Letter to travel abroad from Police when a FIR is filed?
2. Can we get any official Permission Letter to travel abroad from Court when a FIR is filed and in the investigation Stage? (before summoning the FIR to Court and getting a CC number)
3. Once the FIR is summoned to Court, what would be steps to be followed to get the Permission from Court to travel abroad (my major concern here is, can we apply for this permission in the stage of ‘Summons’ or in the further stages like ‘Cross Examination’ or any other)
Please correct me if I am wrong and Please help me, I waited for 3 years for this opportunity.
