Often yes — but only if you have checked and complied with the specific requirements that apply to your case. Two common errors cause serious problems: assuming you are automatically barred when you are not, and assuming you can travel without checking when conditions apply.

The first question is your bail conditions. When bail was granted by the Nashik Sessions Court or the Bombay HC, it very likely included a condition that you not leave India without prior permission, and sometimes that you surrender your passport to the court. If either applies, file an application before the granting court — the Nashik Sessions Court or, if bail was granted by the Bombay HC, at Mumbai — setting out your travel purpose, destination, dates, and undertaking to return and attend all future hearings. Nashik courts and the Bombay HC grant these applications routinely for genuine purposes — work, business, medical treatment, family emergencies — on conditions such as providing an itinerary and a further surety. Travel in breach of a bail condition is contempt of court and may result in immediate cancellation of bail.

The second check is whether a Look Out Circular (LOC) has been issued against you — particularly likely in economic offence matters and cases where Maharashtra Police or a central investigating agency has sought one. An LOC stops you at immigration regardless of your bail conditions. Your lawyer can check for LOCs and, if one exists, move to have it vacated before you travel. For passport renewal, an associated criminal case may require a No-Objection Certificate from the Nashik court under the Passports Act. The criminal advocates at the Nashik panel of Aapka Legal Advice can file the travel permission application, check for LOCs, and ensure no invisible bar exists before you finalise any international travel plan.
