The writ of habeas corpus will be issued

Solution

The writ of habeas corpus can be issued by the Supreme Court and High court under Article 32 and 226 of the Constitution respectively. The literal meaning of habeas corpus means 'to have the body'. It is an order issued by the court to produce the person illegally detained before the court. It acts as a bulwark against the detention of the person. However, the writ cannot be issued when: 1. Detention is legal; 2. It is outside the jurisdiction of the court; 3. Detention is for contempt of court or legislature; 4. Detention is by the final judgment of the court.
