The camp was hosted by the Advocates  Association, Bangalore(AAB) with the cooperation of Regional Passport Office, Bangalore.

Regional Passport Officer A Ravindra, explaining the process, said that advocates who are interested, could obtain application forms at the camp or download it from internet (www.kar.nic.in/passport), fill them and return filled in applications for scrutiny with the required documents. Passports would be issued to eligible applicants, following due procedure, he added.

Chief Justice Cyriac Joseph who inaugurated the camp said that advocates are unable to visit the Passport Office during its working hours as they are  preoccupied with cases and clients.  He appreciated Passport officers’ positive response.
