To Say Passport Is Only A Travel Document Is Complete Misreading Of Law: Justice Lokur Criticises MEA Stand
Referring to the Preamble of the Passports Act, ex-SC Judge Justice Lokur noted that the legislation was enacted "to provide for the issue of passports and travel documents, and to regulate the departure from India of citizens of India and other persons." He emphasised that Parliament had deliberately used the terms "passport" and "travel document" separately throughout the statute.
"Parliament does not make laws and use superfluous words or words that have no meaning. Therefore, when the Passports Act talks about a passport and a travel document, it means these are two separate documents. To say that a passport is nothing but a travel document is a complete misreading of the provisions of the Passports Act," he said.
Justice Lokur said the legal position should be made clear that "a person who holds an Indian passport is a citizen of India."

If the Indian government itself disowns the passport as proof of citizenship, it could create serious international complications, says Justice Madan B Lokur, former #SupremeCourt Judge.
Illustrating the consequence of the MEA's interpretation, Justice Lokur says that a foreign officer might refused to accept an Indian Passport as citizenship proof saying that it was a mere travel document.
"The foreign immigration officer will say, 'You are presenting to me a travel document. I want a passport which says that you are a citizen of India. Your government says that this passport you are showing me is not proof that you are a citizen of India, so I am not giving you a visa,'" Justice Lokur said.

There is a recurring tragedy in Indian constitutional jurisprudence, one that wears the respectable garb of due process, shelter in the labyrinthine corridors of procedural complexity, and ultimately emerges, years later, as a verdict that is legally sound but democratically meaningless.
