How should I respond to passport surrender notice from authorities?

I received a show-cause notice from the passport office to surrender my passport due to a criminal case in India related to a matrimonial dispute involving my sister and her husband. I am currently abroad, and the passport office has given me 15 days to surrender it. How should I respond to this notice?

To respond to the passport office's show-cause notice, consult a lawyer to file a formal reply explaining your situation and seeking more time or resolution. If the case is still pending, a lawyer can also help in challenging the notice or negotiating a delay in surrendering your passport. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
