Passport Reissue is on HOLD due to recent Kerla HC Verdict on penalty

I am living at Indirapuram, Ghaziabad at a rented apartment with my family. I have applied for REISSUE of passport in Oct 2019 at Lucknow RPO, and due to COVID I couldn't visit and I applied for the same from Ghaziabad RPO and got canceled LKO file. Here, I realize later that I made the mistake of not mentioning the LKO file No. during the application submission at RPO by the time Status changed to Passport on Hold due to suppression of LKO file No in the application. I visited Ghaziabad RPO and learned that due to the recent Kerala HC order (June 2020) Passport authority is not authorized to force any penalty hence my passport cant get thru till RPO receives further guideline from Kerla HC or Ministry, OR If I can get an order from HC to proceed with penality to expedite. FYI, I am about to join a new employer in Norway by 1 Feb 2021, and for which I need a passport renewed at the earliest to get the visa processed. Need your advice and assistance in getting a renewed passport ASAP.
