The Habeas Corpus Act 1679 is an Act of the Parliament of England passed during the reign of King Charles II by what became known as the Habeas Corpus Parliament to define and strengthen the ancient prerogative writ of habeas corpus, whereby persons unlawfully detained cannot be ordered to be prosecuted before a court of law.The Act of 1679 followed an earlier act of 1640, which established that the command of the King or the Privy Council was no answer to a petition of habeas corpus. Further Habeas Corpus Acts were passed by the British Parliament in 1803, 1804, 1816 and 1862, but it is the Act of 1679 which is remembered as one of the most important statutes in English constitutional history. Though amended, it remains on the statute book to this day.

British shows that, how much they were alert regarding principle of life and liberty of human being but unfortunately it was not for Indian in people in their governance in India. In RAULET ACT they have adopted policy against the life and liberty of Indian politicians.

What is mean of it ? ONLY GOD CAN COMPREHEND THE BRITISH POLICIES.

Habeas corpus refers to a person's right not to be imprisoned unless charged with a crime and given a trial. A writ of habeas corpus is a court order that requires the government to either.

Charge an imprisoned person with a crime or let the person go free. If a government ignores or refuses to grant a writ of habeas corpus served upon it, the person held could be imprisoned indefinitely without trial. In order to make writs of habeas corpus more effective, the Habeas Corpus Act was passed.
