    Laws and Rules and Punishments are imposed on common man who does not have political and money power. Those who have both will escape from all laws and punishments. There are several examples for this.

    The same rule and law should apply for Reddy who acquired second passport with Chennai address while he was already with CBI custody.

    Why cannot we have a eye scanning or finger print scanning and be stored in the computer so that no two passport's will be issued to the same person. More over I would suggest that only one passport number should be given to a person for his entire life, when a passport is renewed the new passport should carry the old number.
