Learned counsel for UT Chandigarh submits that the detenu was asked to furnish bail/surety bonds but he was not able to furnish the same in the proceedings under Sections 107 and 151 Cr.P.C. and thereafter, he furnished bail/surety bonds on 06.09.2017 and was released from the Jail. Learned counsel also submits that the present petition has become infructuous and it cannot be said to be a case of illegal detention as the detenu could not be released in absence of furnishing bail/surety bonds.
