Is there a
position or situation in which an en-passant move could not be
permitted or be illegal?
Thanks.

Dear viewer,
It is possible that an en-passant move cannot be performed if
such move breaks the rules of Chess.
The following
diagram shows a position in which the en-passant maneuver is
not possible:
White to move
White moves his c2 Pawn to c4 threatening to capture the black
Bishop in exchange for a Pawn. Black cannot exercise his
en-passant option (bxc3+ e.p) since he exposes his King to
check from the white h4 Rook.
