2. It is seen from the records that the detaining authority has passed the impugned Detention Order dated 12.08.2016 and thereby, detained the detenu as Drug Offender for a period of one year. Since the period mentioned in the Detention Order has already become expired, the relief sought in the petition has become unwarranted.

3. Therefore, this petition is dismissed.
