Validity of detention order - no copy has been served upon petitioner - HELD THAT - Petitioner submits that he does not wish to press the present writ petition and he would seek appropriate remedy as available to him in accordance with law at the appropriate stage. In view of the stand taken by learned counsel, present writ petition and all pending applications are dismissed as not pressed.

Summary

Issues Involved:
1. Exemption application - CM APPL. No. 18996/2015
2. Detention order apprehension - W. P. (C) 3106/2015 and CM APPL. No. 18995/2015

Exemption Application - CM APPL. No. 18996/2015:
The court allowed the exemption application subject to just exception. The application was disposed of, indicating that the petitioner was granted relief from certain obligations or requirements with some conditions to be met.

Detention Order Apprehension - W. P. (C) 3106/2015 and CM APPL. No. 18995/2015:
The petitioner, through their counsel, expressed concerns about a possible detention order being issued against them without receiving a copy of the same. The Additional Solicitor General, representing the respondent, argued that the writ petition was premature at the current stage. Eventually, the petitioner decided not to pursue the writ petition further and reserved the right to seek appropriate legal remedies at a later stage. Consequently, the court dismissed the writ petition and all pending applications since they were not pressed by the petitioner. The court ordered the issuance of a copy of the dismissal order under the Court Master's signature.

This judgment involved two distinct issues: the exemption application and the apprehension of a detention order. The court's decision on the exemption application was to grant relief subject to certain conditions, while the apprehension of the detention order led to the dismissal of the writ petition due to the petitioner's decision not to pursue it further. The legal representation on both sides played a crucial role in presenting their arguments before the court, ultimately resulting in the dismissal of the petition.
