ORDER

Arunachalam, J. - A common question of law has been urged before us in all these three Habeas Corpus Petitions and hence it would be better to dispose of all these petitions through a common order. H.C.P. No. 1676 of 1994 is capable of being disposed of on factual material, without legal ramifications, affecting its termination.

2. Facts in H.C.P. 1675 of 1994: Petitioner Thamizharasi is the wife of Arumugham, whose liberty she has coveted in this Habeas Corpus Petition, alleging that he has been kept under illegal detention in Central Prison, Madras, on and after 27.9.1994. The averments in her affidavit show that Arumugham was arrested on 27.6.1994 from his residence. Neither document nor contraband stood recovered from him. However, it is alleged by the prosecution that he is involved in the export of Certain narcotic drugs which were seized in a foreign country. Arumugham was remanded to judicial custody on 26.8.1994. Every 14 days, remand was being extended. The period of 90 days expired on 27.9.1994 and even by then the respondent had not preferred any complaint. Arumugham had earlier preferred a bail application seeking his release, but the same was dismissed on 24.7.1
