Which writ literally translates to 'To have the body of' and is used to secure the release of a person who has been detained unlawfully?

💡 Solution & Explanation

Habeas Corpus translates literally from Latin as 'to have the body of' and serves as a fundamental constitutional safeguard against illegal detention under Article 32 and Article 226. Mandamus commands a public official to perform a legal duty, whereas Quo-Warranto tests the legality of a person holding a public office. It ensures liberty by compelling the detaining authority to produce the prisoner before a court.
