My case in the Hyderabad High Court was ordered to be resolved by the lower court within two months, but it hasn’t been. I need my passport to travel for a job abroad. Can I appeal to the Supreme Court for a speedy resolution to get my passport? I’m a Muslim and married.

While the Supreme Court can hear appeals against High Court orders, it’s unlikely to intervene solely based on a delay in a lower court’s resolution. You can approach the Hyderabad High Court itself to seek a stay order on the lower court proceedings, which would allow you to access your passport. Your religious or marital status is not relevant to this legal matter.
