Article 192
Priority of Petitions of Habeas Corpus
(1)
Every Court receiving a petition of habeas corpus for release of an arrested or detained person shall give the petition the utmost priority, unless the petition fails to state a sufficient claim and shall forthwith issue a summons directing the person who has custody of the arrested or detained person to appear before the Court, together with that person, on such day as shall be fixed in the summons, and show cause why the person should not be released.
#(2)
In all cases, the Court summons shall fix the date for appearance pursuant to sub-Article (1), no more than 24 hours after the petition has been filed.
