The Badam Satti pass rule used here permits passing only when no held card can be placed.

It does not grant a voluntary pass merely to keep a useful blocking card hidden.

Your hand contains 6♠ and Q♦.

If the spade seven is open and the diamond row has not reached the queen, the six is your only legal move.

You must use it.

The fact that it also helps an opponent does not remove the obligation.

Before invoking the Badam Satti pass rule, check all four suits.

Blocking decisions exist when several legal moves are available, not when the only playable card is being withheld illegally.
