12. Habeas corpus –A writ of habeas corpus is known as "the great and efficacious writ in all manner
of illegal confinement”, being a remedy available to the meanest against the mightiest. It is a
summons with the force of a court order; it is addressed to the custodian (a prison official for
example) and demands that a prisoner be taken before the court, and that the custodian present
proof of authority, allowing the court to determine whether the custodian has lawful authority to
detain the prisoner. If the custodian is acting beyond his or her authority, then the prisoner must
be released. Any prisoner, or another person acting on his or her behalf, may petition the court,
or a judge, for a writ of habeas corpus. One reason for the writ to be sought by a person other
than the prisoner is that the detainee might be held incommunicado. Most civil law jurisdictions
provide a similar remedy for those unlawfully detained, but this is not always called habeas
corpus.[3] For example, in some Spanish-speaking nations, the equivalent remedy for unlawful
imprisonment is the amparo de libertad ('protection of freedom').
