Writ of Habeas Corpus - Protection against illegal detention

Question

My brother was picked up by men in plain clothes without any charge sheet or arrest warrant. The local police deny having him. How can we legally locate him?

You must immediately file a Writ of Habeas Corpus under Article 199 of the Constitution in the High Court. The High Court will direct the police and intelligence agencies to produce the detenu in court. Habeas Corpus is a fundamental constitutional remedy against unlawful or secret detention.
