Since a criminal case is pending, the court may restrain you from leaving the country. Therefore, getting passport may not help. You may better try to expedite your case and get the trial concluded on priority basis.

An application may be filed before the High Court, on the basis of your admission abroad, for directions to the trial court to expedite hearings.
