Solution
Writ of Habeas Corpus
Explanation:
A legal remedy known as a Writ of Habeas Corpus safeguards a person's right to liberty. A person may seek a petition of habeas corpus, which forces the government to bring the detainee before the court to assess if the imprisonment was legal if they are taken into custody and are not brought before a magistrate within 24 hours. Protection from unauthorised detention is guaranteed by this writ.
