R.Daisy – Appellant
Versus
The State of Tamil Nadu – Respondents
H.C.P.No.1521 of 2024
Decided on : 09-08-2024
HABEAS CORPUS - DETENTION ORDER - The court addressed a petition under Article 226 of the Constitution of India for a Writ of Habeas Corpus concerning the detention of Raja under the Goonda Act. The court noted that the detention order had been revoked by the competent authority, leading to the conclusion that no further adjudication was necessary.
Fact of the Case:
The petitioner sought a Writ of Habeas Corpus to produce Raja, who was detained under the Goonda Act, and to quash the detention order dated 24.05.2024.
Finding of the Court:
The court found that the detention order had already been revoked by the competent authority, rendering the petition moot.
Issues: Whether the court should proceed with the adjudication of the habeas corpus petition given the revocation of the detention order.
Ratio Decidendi: The court held that once the detention order is revoked, the basis for the habeas corpus petition ceases to exist, and thus no further adjudication is warranted.
Result: The Habeas Corpus Petition was closed as the detention order had been revoked.
