No.217 of 2010 ********************* Dated this the 15th day of June, 2010 JUDGMENT BASANT, J. This Writ Petition has been filed by the wife of a prisoner in custody alleging that her husband is being illegally detained in prison without any legal or formal order authorising such detention. That he was initially remanded to custody in accordance with law is not disputed. The grievance is that remand has not been properly extended resulting in the illegal continuance of the prisoner in prison. 2. When this petition came up for admission, the same was admitted on 10.06.2010 and a report of the learned Magistrate was called for. The report of the learned Magistrate has been received. The learned counsel for the petitioner today submits that he does not want to seek any further orders in this Writ Petition, as it is now evident that the husband of the petitioner has subsequently been produced before the learned Magistrate on 14.06.2010 and he has been properly remanded to custody. In these circumstances, no further directions are necessary, submits the learned counsel for the petitioner. W.P(Crl.) No.217 of 2010 2 3. We are satisfied that in the light of the submissions made by the learned counsel for the petitioner, no further directions are necessary. We have gone through the report of the learned Magistrate and have been apprised of the instructions received by the senior Government Pleader from the Deputy Superintendent of Police, Tirur. Appropriate further directions on the administrative side shall be issued. No further directions appear to be necessary in this Writ Petition. 4. This Writ Petition is, in these circumstances, dismissed as unnecessary and not pressed. (R.BASANT, JUDGE) (M.C.HARI RANI, JUDGE) rtr/ W.P(Crl.) No.217 of 2010 3
