The court upheld the continuation of conditions imposed on the petitioner despite the issuance of a new passport, emphasizing the importance of complying with the conditions set by the court.
Conditions for passport renewal should not be excessively burdensome when the accused is not seeking to travel abroad; appropriate conditions can be imposed when permission to travel is requested.
The court balanced the petitioner's genuine reasons for travel with the need to ensure her return and compliance with legal obligations, imposing specific conditions to address these concerns.
The court held that a petitioner could seek renewal of a passport without breaching bail conditions if no permission to leave the jurisdiction was required.
