Habeas corpus

Jarida Recommends

Meaning: You must present the body—protections against unlawful detention.
Explanation: Habeas corpus is a constitutional safeguard requiring authorities to justify detention before a court. It ensures freedom from arbitrary arrest and is central to rule of law and criminal procedure. Emergency laws and administrative detentions are often contested through habeas petitions.
Example: A family files a habeas corpus petition when a relative is taken by security forces and held without charges.
