Passport went through the wash.

What does "ADVERSE POLICE REPORT" mean.? I went passport office in india for PCC, I already got my passport.?

• I got my passport five years back..!! I went to apply for PCC in Regional Passport office, officer told me my PCC is Adverse..? I approached my local police station, they gave me clearance certificate, what should I do now to get PCC from passport office?

• Answer:

  The file status shows that my police report is “adverse”. How should I proceed further? The most likely problem is: Your police report says you do not reside at the address given, or that you were not available for police verification. If you feel that the absence was temporary and that you normally reside at that address, you can write to us (giving your file number and a fresh set of PP forms) and request a re-verification. We need to get a clear police report from the re-verification, to be able to process your file further, and clear it for issue of a passport. The police report might have said that you have unresolved criminal cases against you. In such cases, your file cannot be cleared, unless the cases are cleared by the courts. If the cases have indeed been dismissed, you could submit a copy of the court order (and a fresh set of PP forms) and approach us for a re-verification by the police. We will refer your file to the police, along with a copy of the court order. On receipt of a clear report from the police, your file will be processed further for issue of a passport. In cases where the information regarding the criminal case had not been disclosed, a penalty will be imposed and the file cleared after the payment of penalty.
