Which writ is issued by a court to a person who has detained another person, to produce the body of the latter before the court?
Correct: C
Habeas Corpus is a Latin term meaning 'you may have the body'. This writ is issued by a court to command a person who has detained another to bring the detenu (the person detained) before the court. The court then examines the cause and legality of the detention and can order the release if the detention is found to be illegal.
