Writs Mentioned in the Indian Constitution
Habeas Corpus
It literally means ‘to have the body’. By issuing such a writ, the court can order that a person who has been imprisoned or detained to be brought before it and enquire under what authority he has been imprisoned or detained. Nobody can be deprived of his right to remain free either by the state or by any group or individuals without being assigned a
lawful order. Generally, the writ of habeas corpus is applied only after a person has been arrested. However, in exceptional cases, it may be granted even when detention is threatened or not yet to be carried out. The Constitution of India mentions habeas corpus in Articles 32 and 226.
