RADHAKRISHNAN & C.T.RAVIKUMAR, JJ. ---------------------------------------- W.P.(Crl.)No.441 of 2011 ---------------------------------------- Dated this the 8th day of December, 2011 JUDGMENT Thottathil B.Radhakrishnan, J. The impugned order of detention has worked itself out by efflux of time. The petitioner was granted an interim order of temporary release on stringent conditions as per order dated 3.11.2011. With the passage of time, as of now, he cannot be detained further on the basis of the impugned order, since it is not shown that the same has been extended on any ground. Therefore, treating this writ petition as having become infructuous, we order that the detention order will be treated as not surviving and we close this matter without expressing anything on the need of the State to detain him, if there is any other order, either preventive or otherwise, as in force. Bail bond will stand cancelled. The writ petition is ordered accordingly. Sd/- THOTTATHIL B. RADHAKRISHNAN Judge Sd/- C.T.RAVIKUMAR Judge TKS/8.12
