Q. Which among the following writs is issued against wrongful detention?
Answer: Habeas Corpus
Notes: Habeas corpus is a legal principle that protects individuals from being unlawfully detained or imprisoned. It is a Latin term that means "you have the body," and it is used to refer to a writ (a legal document) that requires a person who is holding another individual in custody to produce that person before a court. The purpose of habeas corpus is to ensure that individuals are not held in custody without legal justification, and it is often used as a safeguard against unlawful detention or imprisonment. In most legal systems, individuals have the right to file a habeas corpus petition if they believe they are being held unlawfully, and the court must promptly hear the case and rule on the legality of the detention.
