2. Heard the learned counsel on either side and perused the materials available on record.

3. Upon notice, Mr.A.Thiruvadi Kumar, learned Additional Public Prosecutor, has produced a letter from the Jail Superintendent stating that the petitioner has been granted one day leave with escort. When the letter was attempted to be served on the Prisoner on 23.03.2022, it appears that he had refused to receive it. The Jail Superintendent of Trichy Central Prison has also stated that the Prisoner would be given a days leave to attend the 16th day ceremony of his mother.

4. In view of the same, we do not see any reason to keep this Writ Petition pending. The Writ Petition therefore, stands dismissed. No costs.
