1)it is surprising that your renewal of passport is pending for 5 months

2) if you were present when police officer visited your residence for verification police should have submitted the verification report to the passport office.

3) Unless there is discrepancy or inadequacy in the documents you produce for police verification, it will be done in one visit

4) furnish your appointment letter if police want to know your job details ..

5) Passport is expected to be dispatched within three working days of receipt of a

“Recommendatory” Police Verification Report (PVR) from the Police Department

1) since you were not present when constable came to your residence they have submitted the report

2) you may have visited the police station but police have to verify that you are actually staying at the said address . during the visit of constable only your parents were present

3) you can write to RPO that you had gone to police station on 3 occasions but was informed that either file not received or that constable will come to you house for

verification .

4) you have sufficient evidence that you are residing in address for long time

5) you can file writ petition in the HC if you so desire against RPO / police

6) however you cannot except instant results . writ would take time to be disposed of

File a complaint before regional passport officer. State that you have been harassed and deliberately not issuing passport. Applicant cannot b be called to appear before police chowki. Police is bound to verify your address by visiting your residence. You can made complaint before police officer of your district.

There is a process to verify your address by giving special application to the RPO for verification within one week. You have to pay requisite fee for that.

You can file a RTI application to know the exact status of your application and the stage of police verification. Depending on the reply that you receive further legal recourse can be charted out. The remedy to move the appropriate court for appropriate directions is open to you.
