APPEAL BOOK ENDORSEMENT

[1] The appellant was found fit soon after the impugned order was made. The appeal is therefore moot. This is not a proper case for this court to exercise its discretion to hear the appeal. The serious issues of principle respecting treatment orders are under reserve in this court. The other issue sought to be raised by counsel is specific to the facts of this case.

[2] Accordingly, the appeal is dismissed.
