The Allahabad High Court's Lucknow bench has directed a trial court to issue a No Objection Certificate (NOC) for a passport to performer Sapna Choudhary. The court noted that her bail order did not contain conditions preventing her from obtaining a passport, despite a pending criminal case from 2018 related to a cancelled stage show. The High Court also stated that passport renewal cannot be refused solely due to a pending criminal appeal, allowing for a standard 10-year passport.
