26.07.2022 and it was served on the detenu on 27.07.2022 and therefore, 27.07.2022 is the date of detention pursuant to the impugned preventive detention order. In this view of the matter, captioned HCP has become infructuous is learned Public Prosecutor's say.

2. Having perused the case file we find that the dates are correct and therefore captioned HCP is disposed of as closed having become infructuous.
