Petitioner has filed this criminal writ petition under Article 226 of the Constitution of India praying for issuance of a writ, order or direction to the official respondents to not to harass and forcefully admit Sh.Surat Singh Khalsa with respondent No.9-Post Graduate Institute of Medical Education and Research (PGIMER) and create, hindrance, hurdle or in an manner prohibit any person from meeting him at PGIMER and issuance of a direction, thereby appointing a warrant officer so as to assess the situation first-hand with regard to forceful admission of Sh.Surat Singh Khalsa at village Husanpur, District Ludhiana and hindrance being caused to the relatives and friends who are coming to meet him during visiting hours and doctors

CRWP No.1449 of 2015 -2are going to operate upon him for forceful treatment and insert pacemaker, which the respondent No.9 cannot insert against the wish of the patient and his guardians/family members. Notice of motion was given to the State and learned State counsel appeared and status reports have been filed. I have heard learned counsel for the petitioner as well as learned State counsel and have gone through the record. As per the order dated 12.10.2015, learned State counsel while filing the status report through affidavits of Commissioner of Police, Ludhiana and Deputy Commissioner, Ludhiana stated that father of the petitioner had been discharged from PGI on 10.10.2015. As per the order passed by this Court on 17.11.

2015, status report by way of affidavit of Deputy Commissioner, Ludhiana was filed in which it was stated that doctors along with other officials visited the house of the father of the petitioner and thereafter considering the serious condition, he was shifted to hospital at Ludhiana and the petitioner did not intentionally appear on the last date and legal process is being misused.

It is admitted by learned counsel for the petitioner that Surjit Singh Khalsa has already been discharged from PGI in the month of October and he also admitted that no pacemaker was inserted after operation.

The main relief sought is against the admission of Surjit Singh Khalsa in the PGI and regarding inserting pacemaker by PGI forcefully and also regarding making hindrance to relatives to meet

CRWP No.1449 of 2015 -3Surjit Singh Khalsa in the PGI. The relief being sought has become infructuous as Surjit Singh Khalsa has already been discharged from the PGI for the last three months and he has now stated to have been admitted in DMC Hospital, Ludhiana.

In view of the above discussion, the present criminal writ petition is dismissed as having been rendered infructuous. January 27, 2016 (INDERJIT SINGH) Vgulati JUDGE
