2. Sheikh Shaukat Ali, learned counsel for the petitioner, states at the Bar that the detenu is one of the several persons who have recently been sent out of the country in exchange of the passengers of P. I, A. Plane hijacked to Kabul and then to Damascus. According to the learned counsel even the action of sending the detenu out of the country against his consent and by force is not warranted by law.

3. This development has taken place after the decision of the High Court and it lends an altogether different complexion and content to th proceedings. The detenu is no longer within the territorial jurisdietio 't of Courts of Pakistan or within the control or jurisdiction of the Govern--ment of Pakistan or of the Provinces. The petition has been come infructuous for the present and is dismissed accordingly.
