‘Habeas Corpus’ means :
Answer: C
Habeas corpus means the prisoner be presented before the judge.
The Latin phrase means 'you may have the body'. A writ of habeas corpus orders the person or authority holding someone in detention to produce the detained person before the court, so that the court can examine whether the detention is lawful and order release if it is not. In India the Supreme Court issues it under Article 32 and High Courts under Article 226.
Free legal aid comes from Article 39A and the Legal Services Authorities Act, and access to a lawyer from Article 22(1). Release follows only if the court finds the detention unlawful, so the writ does not itself mean the under-trial is released.
