Holding
The petition is dismissed as there is nothing left to adjudicate following the revocation of the detention order.
Summary
The petitioner filed a criminal writ petition challenging a detention order. The Advisory Board subsequently revoked the detention order, eliminating the basis of the petition. The petitioner argued that the revocation should not affect the petition. The court examined whether any relief could still be claimed after the order’s revocation. Finding that the revocation nullified the detention order, the court held that there was nothing left to adjudicate. Consequently, the petition was disposed.
