Dear Deep117 and friends,
I was also issued passport from jalandhar office.When i renewed they did not returned me old passport,but mentioned the number of old passport in new one.I think it is the procedure and dont bother about it.But when i appered for visa in US embassy at delhi for visa then visa officer asked for old passport and grilled me.To my surprise he called their vigilance officer and handed me to him.He brought me to his questioning cell and asked questions.But my goodluck i was having my original certificate with me along my new deriving licence and expired deriving licence.I convinced him that i am law abiding person and then he let me to go with no visa.I then went to passport office and requested for old passport,but passpot officer( Mr Mahajan) behaved me like beasts.In reply i asked him that i am educated person and behave like a gentalman.He then understand and ensure to help me.Next day he called and handed me photocopies of old passport from computer and also told me that old record is distroyed.So friends,we are living in a country which is with out any law and order.It makes us to leave it otherwise were not to leave as our sentiments are attached here.
