ORDER

' States that the detenu be released as his detention is illegal. Submits that the copy of the detention order was not provided to the petitioner or the detenu by the District Magistrate, Jhelum, in spite of the fact that an application to that effect was filed.

2. In the writ petition, petitioner has stated that detenu was arrested under section 3(1) of the West Pakistan Maintenance of Public Order Ordinance, 1960. This admission itself is sufficient to say that the detention of the detenu is legal and proper. Hence, the writ petition is without substance and is dismissed in limine.
