Judge also observed that passport office was unable to produce list of authorised agents
Public notary Kishor Rambhau Akolkar, advocate Mahavir Shrishrimal, passport agent Vikas Shankar Deshpande,
The court observed that the passport office was open for the public and the accused had the right to enter the premises during office hours. This was given as the reason for clearing the four accused of trespassing.
The court further pointed out that the prosecution had been unable to produce a purported list of authorised passport agents that the then Passport Officer Suresh Menon had given the Chaturshrungi police. The letter, the police had said, did not mention Deshpande.
