Child Custody & Habeas Corpus - The proceedings are not meant to justify custody legality but address detention issues.

Jurisdiction & Limitations - The courts reiterated that habeas corpus is a remedy against illegal detention and not against lawful confinement or custody arrangements. The remedy is not applicable where the detention is voluntary or lawful INDKER00000016884; 01500049005.

Promod Nair's case, like others, hinges on whether detention was illegal; if detention is lawful or voluntary, the petition is dismissed. The courts maintain a restrictive approach, emphasizing due process and legality of detention rather than custody or administrative orders IND_HC_KLHC010862862015; 00300051062; 01500049005.
