                                    Writ Petition (Criminal) No. 721 of 1985

                                           (M.P. Thakkar, N.D. Ojha JJ)

                                                      09.02.1988

                                                        ORDER

This writ petition arises out of an externment order dated February 25, 1984 passed by the
competent authority against the petitioner. The petitioner had already suffered externment for 15
months out of 24 months' externment imposed by the impugned order when she approached this
Court and obtained a stay order. On account of the said stay order granted by this Court, unexpired
period of nine months has not been given effect to till now. In view of the fact that about three years
have elapsed meanwhile we direct that the impugned externment order insofar as the remaining
period of 9 months is concerned shall not be enforced against the petitioner. The writ petition will
stand disposed of accordingly.
