#EALegalShots Writ of Habeas Corpus

nbsp;Last we explained to you what are writs and how they can be used when you need them.

In today's post, we bring you Writ of Habeas Corpus.

If a person is detained by the police, then they have to produce the person in front of the Magistrate within next 24 hours.

However, it is among few malpractices adopted by the police where they make an arrest on Friday evening, detain them for more than 48 hours and producing them in court on Monday. This not only violates the basic rights but also the person ill-treated.nbsp;

This is where the writ of Habeas Corpus comes for help. If the imprisonment or detainment exceeds the time, the person can file Habeas Corpus under which the court will have to summon the detaining body and it has to come up with a plausible explanation.
