[1 ] This is a petition for judicial review of a decision by the Secretary of State for the Home Department. The Secretary of State has lodged answers. In the heading of the petition, the decision brought under review is said to be one dated 7 November 2006 to detain the petitioner under paragraph 16(2) of Schedule 2 to the Immigration Act 1971.
[2 ] Paragraph 16 is headed, "Detention of persons liable to examination or removal". As amended, it provides in part:
"(2) If there are reasonable grounds for suspecting that a person is someone in respect of whom directions may be given under any of paragraphs 8 to 10A [removal of persons refused leave to enter and illegal entrants] [ . . . ], that person may be detained under the authority of an immigration officer pending:
[6 ] On 7 November 2006 the petitioner was served with form IS151A, which was a notice informing him of his immigration status. That was the first stage of the procedure for his administrative removal from this country to India . In view of his history of failing to comply with conditions as to residence and reporting, he was considered to be likely to abscond if released. The respondent accordingly made a detention order pending his removal (no. 6/2 of process). That is the order referred to in the heading of the petition.
[9 ] The second order is for reduction of the decision of 7 November 2006 . Since the petitioner is no longer detained, such an order would be entirely academic.
