The Delhi High Court today ordered restoration of the passport of former Indian Premier League (IPL) Commissioner Lalit Kumar Modi, paving the way for his return to the country.A bench of justices Badar Durrez Ahmed and Vibhu Bakhru set aside the order revoking Modi's passport but made it clear that it was not expressing any opinion with regard to the alleged violations under the Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA) by him which are being examined separately by the authorities under FEMA. On January 16, 2013, a single-judge bench of the high court had dismissed Lalit Modi's plea challenging the orders revoking his passport passed by the Regional and Chief Passport Officers on March 3, 2011 and October 31, 2011,respectively.
