Has the court imposed any fetters on his right to go abroad during the pendency of the trial? If the answer is in affirmative, permission will have to be obtained from the court, whereas if the passport has been surrendered by the accused on the directions of the court then you have to apply to the court to release it. The courts never issue any directions to the passport office to not to issue the passport to the accused as and when he applies.
