(Crl) No. 465 of 2011-S ------------------------------------------------- Dated this the 14th day of October, 2011 JUDGMENT Basant,J. The petitioner had come to this Court on 13/10/2011 alleging that his brother-in-law Sri.K.V. Hamza is being illegally detained by the respondent/Circle Inspector of Police, Valanchery, from 10/10/2011. The petitioner came to know that such illegal detention was in connection with Crime No.310/11 of Kalpakanchery Police Station. 2. This writ petition was admitted yesterday. Notice given to the learned Government Pleader and the learned Government Pleader was directed to take instructions. 3. Today when the matter came up for hearing, the learned Government Pleader submits that the brother-in-law of the petitioner Sri.K.V. Hamza was arrested as an accused in Crime No.310/11 of Kalpakanchery Police Station, on 13/10/2011 at 10 a.m. and he was produced before the learned Magistrate having jurisdiction yesterday itself. He has been enlarged on bail by the learned Magistrate, submits the learned Government Pleader. W.P. (Crl) No. 465 of 2011 -: 2 :- 4. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that it is true that the detenue was, after getting notice of the filing of this writ petition, recorded as arrested and produced before the learned Magistrate. He has already been enlarged on bail also, submits the learned counsel for the petitioner. 5. We are satisfied, in these circumstances, that no further directions are necessary in this writ petition. We may, however, hasten to observe that the option of the petitioner or his brother- in-law to complain about the alleged illegal detention from 10/10/2011 to 13/10/2011 shall remain unfettered by the termination of this proceedings. We do not think it necessary to delve deeper into the controversy as to when he was arrested and whether there was any illegal detention prior to the formal arrest being effected. 6. With the above observations, this writ petition is dismissed. Sd/- R. BASANT (Judge) Sd/- M.C. HARI RANI (Judge) Nan/ //true copy// P.S. to Judge
