Terming the allegations as "very serious", the top court refused to entertain the anticipatory bail plea filed by accused Om Prakash, who hails from Haryana.

"Because of people like you, Indian passport is devalued. Such acts of a few brought disrepute to Indian passports," said a bench of Justices Ujjal Bhuyan and Manmohan.
