It is stated that after remanding the accused, the lower court subsequently passed bail order releasing the accused on conditions. It is contended by the petitioner’s counsel that since the accused was detained in pursuance of order of impounding passed in pursuance of order of the lower court, the purpose is over. As on today, it is stated that the accused is in London after obtaining permission from the court. In those circumstances, it is open to the petitioner to approach the lower court for necessary relief regarding impounding of the passport, because purpose for which order for impounding was passed by the lower court, was served. As on today, the order directing impounding has worked itself out. Only a formal order has to be passed by the lower court recalling earlier direction for impounding. So, the petitioner has to approach the lower court in this regard. Subject to the above observations, the petition is closed. ____________________________________ SAMUDRALA GOVINDARAJULU,J.
