habeas corpus in other words is basically a writ issued by the govt wherein a person who is arrested has to be present in the court for the trail within 24 hours of his arrest.

Habeas Corpus is a procedural device to force the courts to examine the lawfulness of a prisoner's detention in order to safeguard individual liberty and thus to prevent unlawful or arbitrary imprisonment.
