This is a petition under Article 226 of the Constitution of India praying for issuance of a writ of habeas corpus for releasing the son of the petitioner named Ashish from the illegal custody of respondent No.3.

The petitioner was, therefore, handed over the custody of her minor son Ashish. It appears that, on 10.4.2001, Rule came to be issued. Since the custody of the minor child has been restored to the petitioner, this petition has been rendered infructuous as the relief prayed for by the petitioner stands fully granted to the petitioner. 2. We have heard Shri S.W. Munde, learned counsel appearing for the petitioner, Shri K.J. Ghute Patil, learned A.P.P. for respondent Nos.1 and 2 and Shri A.B. Girase, learned counsel on behalf of respondent Nos.3 and 4.

In the 3 circumstances, there will be no order as to costs. Rule stands discharged. [SHRIHARI P. DAVARE, J.] [P.V. HARDAS, J.]
