Panchal did not remain present throughout the session. This matter was adjourned from time to time and on one time, even notice was issued to the petitioner-detenu informing him that his advocate, Ms.Nayana V. Panchal is not remaining present in the matter and, therefore, suitable arrangement be made. This being a very old matter, it was regularly listed in the final hearing board at Sr.No.1. Still, advocate has chosen not to remain present in the court for the reason best known to her as a result of which, this Court could not pass any order in the matter and could not dispose of the same till today. Now this matter has become infructuous because actual date of detention is 21-7-1999. It is an unhealthy practice adopted by the learned advocate for the reason best known to her. Hence, this Court has no other alternative, but to dispose of this matter as it has become infructuous on the ground of negligence on the part of learned advocate for the petitioner. This petition stands disposed of accordingly. Rule is discharged. (R.P.DHOLAKIA,J.) radhan/
