Mr.S.P.Dave, learned counsel appearing for Respondent No.1 on instructions states that pursuant to report of the Advisory Board, the State Government has revoked the order of detention on February 3,1996 and the detenu is released. As the order of detention is revoked by the State Government and the detenu is released, in my view, the petition has become infructuous and deserves to be disposed of accordingly. The petition, therefore, fails and is dismissed. Rule is discharged with no order as to costs. The petition stands disposed of as having become infructuous. ---------
