JUSTICE SANJAY PARIHAR, JUDGE ORDE R 29.10.2025 Impugned in this appeal is an order and judgment dated 7th December, 2020, passed by the learned Single Judge of this Court [“the writ Court”] in WP (Crl) No. 607/2019, titled “Farooq Ahmad Malik Vs. Government of J&K & Ors.”, whereby the writ Court has allowed the petition and quashed the detention order dated 4th July, 2019, passed by the Detaining Authority. This appeal is pending since the year 2021. Since the detenue/respondent is already out of detention in compliance with the judgment dated 17th December, 2020, and also this appeal has, by afflux of time, rendered infructuous, no useful purpose would serve by keeping this appeal pending. In view of above, the instant appeal is dismissed as infructuous.
