With the consent of learned Counsel for the parties this petition is heard finally at the stage of admission. 2. The communication of the petitioner sent through jail complaining therein of inaction on the part of respondents for not deciding his application for his release on furlough was registered as Criminal Writ Petition. We had accordingly appointed Advocate 2 Ms.Monica Purnapatre, learned Counsel to represent the petitioner in this petition before us. 3. The limited grievance of the petitioner is that though an application had been filed by him some time in April 2010 seeking his release on furlough, the said application has not been decided by the respondents. On notice of this petition being issued to the respondents, the learned Assistant Public Prosecutor has tendered before us a copy of the order dated 18.10.2010 by which the petitioner has been granted furlough leave. The aforesaid communication is taken on record and marked “X” for the purpose of identification. 4. In the light of the order dated 18.10.2010, according to us nothing further survives for consideration in this petition and accordingly we dismiss the petition and discharge the Rule.
