We have heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned A.P.P. In this petition, the petitioner has prayed that his daughter Shubhada be traced and produced to the nearest Judicial Magistrate. We are informed by learned A.P.P. that Shubhada is traced. She is now lodged in Deonar Childrens’ Home. She will be produced before the Child Welfare Committee on 15th February, 2010. Since Shubhada is traced, this petition does not survive. Hence, it is disposed of as infructuous. However, we leave it open to the petitioner to approach this Court if circumstances so demand.
