{'habeas coqjus': [1, 0, 0, 0], 'supreme court': [12, 1, 4, 14], 'high courts': [3, 0, 1, 2], 'constitution': [39, 3, 11, 39], 'courts': [1, 0, 0, 0], 'district courts': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'writ': [0, 0, 0, 2]}
The correct answer is option 3, Both Supreme Court and High Courts.
According to the Constitution, the power to issue a writ of Habeas Corpus is not exclusively vested in either the Supreme Court or the High Courts, but rather in both of them. Habeas Corpus is a legal recourse that allows an individual to challenge their detention or imprisonment. It ensures that the authorities have a legal basis for holding someone in custody and protects against unlawful detention.
Both the Supreme Court and High Courts have the jurisdiction to issue this writ under the Constitution. This means that individuals can approach either of these courts to seek relief through a Habeas Corpus petition. Therefore, option 3 is the correct answer.
