Answer:
The type of writ for such a situation is known as the Habeas corpus.
Explanation:
According to this writ, if a person files this writ, then a court order gets produced. In this court order there will be a demand for the 'concerned public official'/ 'officer', to provide valid reasons to the court for detaining a person.
It also tends to look at bringing the detained person to the court as well.
When people fill out writs, different writs have different concerns. In the Habeas corpus, if a person is held in illegal custody, this writ will help to get to a bottom of 'why that person was withheld'. Furthermore, if its proven that there were no legitimate reasons, then definitely the court will do the needful.
