The present writ petition impugns the order of externment passed under Section 51 and 47 of the Delhi Police Act, 1978. On 3rd March, 2023, the Court of Additional Deputy Commissioner of Police, Dwarka passed an order to the following effect:

"Now, therefore, in exercise of the powers vested upon me under section 47/50 D.P. Act 1978 and conferred on me by the order of Commissioner of Police, Delhi under section 8 (ii) of the said act, I, Vikram Singh, Addl.Dy.Commissioner of Police, Dwarka, District, New Delhi do hereby order that Sudha w/o Dheeraj r/o H.No. E-2/100, Chanakya Place-I, Dabri, New Delhi., shall remove herself beyond the limits of N.C.T of Delhi for a period of 02 year within seven days from the date of this order. The respondent is further directed not to enter or return to the area of N.C.T of Delhi within the said period without written permission of the competent authority.

the Courts at Delhi/New Delhi on all dates of hearing and shall immediately thereafter remove herself outside the limits of N.C.T of Delhi and shall not visit any place except the Court premises. This relaxation is only for the date of hearing for coming to the Court and going out of the limits of NCT of Delhi. The contents of the order have been explained to her in vernacular in the open Court and a copy of the order has been delivered to her against her proper receipt. Order announced in the open Court in the presence of respondent. Respondent is informed of her right to appeal against this order. File be consigned to record." 2.

In appeal against the said order before the Court of Lieutenant Governor of Delhi, vide order dated 24th March, 2023, the period of externment was reduced from two years to 18 months. The 18 months period which is to be reckoned from the date of issuance of the order passed by the ASJ, i.e., 3rd March, 2023, has expired in September, 2024. 3.

In light of the foregoing, the relief sought by the Petitioner is now rendered infructuous. Perhaps for this reason, there is no appearance on behalf of the Petitioner.
