1.what should I do with that cancelled passport ? Can I destroy it as this is no use now?

Thanks in advance.

Once cancelled the passport is nothing more than bunch of papers.. if i would you I would destroy it in the interest of identity unless of course you do not want to keep it as Souvenir.

Your question is specific to minor's passport. Well even though it has been
cancelled, it has some value in regards to identity as being Indian origin.

When last time in India advocate and bank, both used my cancelled Indian passport as proof of my being Indian origin.

So in my opinion it may come handy in future, if you keep it.

Regards.
