Article 195

On the day fixed in the summons under Article 192 (2), the Court shall investigate the truth of the facts alleged in the application and may make such orders as it deems appropriate, in light of the evidence.

Where the Court is satisfied that the restraint is unlawful, it shall order the immediate release of the person arrested or detained. The person who has custody of the arrested or detained person, notwithstanding any other orders or instructions by any person or authority to the contrary, shall forthwith release that person.

Where the Court is in doubt as to the truth or the facts alleged in the application, it may order the release of the person arrested or detained upon his own undertaking, or subject to any of the conditions specified in Article 70.

The Court shall, if it issues an order pursuant to sub-Article (2), require proof of the arrested or detained person’s release in whatever form it deems necessary.
