The Delhi High Court has dismissed a plea by a man convicted in a dowry death case seeking permission to travel to Saudi Arabia for Haj pilgrimage during Eid Ul Zuha (Bakrid) in July.

Justice Neena Bansal Krishna, while rejecting the prayer, noted that the petitioner, who is on bail on account of suspension of the sentence during the pendency of appeal against conviction, did not produce documents or disclose details about his intended travel in the application and also does not have a passport.
