The Madras High Court (Madurai Bench) has drawn a clear line on personal liberty, courts cannot force an accused to surrender their passport as a bail condition.

In this case, a man granted bail was asked by the Sessions Court to deposit his passport along with other conditions. He challenged it, arguing that only authorities under the Passports Act have the power to impound a passport, not criminal courts.

The High Court agreed, holding that special law prevails over general law, and clearly stated that courts may impose conditions for bail, but cannot overstep into powers reserved for passport authorities. The passport surrender condition was struck down, while other conditions remained intact.

In an important ruling, the Delhi High Court held that courts cannot compel lawyers to disclose the source of documents filed on a client’s instructions. The Court clarified that such disclosure is protected under Section 126 of the Indian Evidence Act, which safeguards professional confidentiality.

The Bench made it clear that judicial curiosity cannot override statutory privilege, and unless there is prima facie evidence of fraud, a lawyer cannot be forced to reveal privileged communications or information. Stated that “The Court can seek the truth, but it cannot compel disclosure of what the law expressly protects.”
