When these writ petitions came up for hearing, the learned Government Pleader submits that it is not necessary to keep these writ petitions pending any longer as the State and the detaining authority do not want to insist on continued/renewed detention of the detenus concerned - Sudheer, S/o. Kelappan in W.P.(Cri) No.442/09 and M.K. Asokan, S/o. Choyikkutty in W.P. (Cri) No.34133/09. In these circumstances, the impugned orders of detention can be set aside and these writ petitions can now be closed, submits the learned Government Pleader. The learned Government Pleader, however, hastens to submit that if further detention of the said detenus are found to be necessary later, this common judgment may not stand in the way of the detaining W.P.(Cri) Nos. 442 & W.P.(C) 34133 of 2009 -: 2 :- authority/State invoking the power under the Kerala Anti-Social Activities (Prevention) Act, 2007 in accordance with law. 2.
