The correct answer is option 4, Habeas Corpus. A writ is a legal document issued by a court, in this case, the High Court or the Supreme Court, to ensure the protection of fundamental rights. Habeas Corpus is a Latin term that means "you shall have the body". It is a writ used to protect an individual`s right to personal liberty by requiring the custodian of the person to produce them in court and justify their detention. This writ is typically used when a person`s freedom is unlawfully restricted, such as during unlawful arrests or illegal detentions. It is an essential mechanism to prevent arbitrary and unlawful imprisonment and protect the fundamental rights of citizens.
