Passport authorities had denied him the fresh passport following his application in last October, against which he had filed a petition in the High Court.

Jagdish Shetty, his lawyer, said the court on Friday asked the Ministry to take a decision on Kaskar's application in two weeks.

Kaskar was deported in 2003 from Dubai and his passport was impounded.

He was tried in the Sara-Sahara illegal construction case but was acquitted by the sessions court.
