passport A key decision taken by the High Court on father's name in the passport...!

The Delhi High Court has ruled that the name of a biological father can be removed from a passport if the father has failed to fulfill his parental responsibilities. The decision came in response to a case where a woman sought to remove her estranged husband's name from her child's passport. The court found that the father had failed to contribute to the child's upbringing and had not maintained contact with the child for a significant period of time. The court noted that the welfare of the child should be of paramount importance and that the father's conduct had made it necessary to remove his name from the passport. The ruling sets a precedent for similar cases in the future.
