Reg versus Habeas Corpus Ad-Subjiciendum

jurisprudence ailet advanced real_case

So we studied this case for AILET and I'm still stuck on it ๐Ÿ™„. It's like 'ye section sapne mein aata hai ab' (this section comes only in dream now). 'Reg vs Habeas Corpus Ad-Subjiciendum' (1753) is a landmark case on the writ of habeas corpus. The king of England (George II) issued the writ for a prisoner held without trial in the Tower of London, asking the judge to inquire if there was a lawful cause for his detention. Lord Chancellor Hardwicke held that the writ could be issued even for the king himself, giving some idea of its power as a check on the state. What do you guys think? Can the state be held accountable in India even if the SC or the government doesn't want to? Agree or disagree?

"Aap log, ye topic tou bahut interesting hai. Reg versus Habeas Corpus Ad-Subjiciendum me, main apne vishleshaan ke anusaar yeh kehta hoon ki Habeas Corpus Ad-Subjiciendum ki vartmaan vyavastha se judi vartaa koi naye aur mazboot samsiddhi ka pradarshan nahi karti.
