The learned Magistrate has remanded him to judicial custody. Therefore, according to the learned counsel, the custody of the detenu is not an illegal one.

The position taken by the learned counsel for the State has not been challenged by the learned counsel for the petitioner. Hence, this Court does not find any merit in the present Habeas Corpus Petition. It is hereby dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs.

As a sequel, miscellaneous petitions, pending if any, shall also stand dismissed.
