My friend was arrested in Chennai and the court sent the case to a Mumbai police station for further investigation. To get him out, I need a police report from Mumbai, but the officer keeps saying he’s busy and will investigate later. It’s been over a month, and there’s no progress. How can I get my friend released?

You can file a writ of habeas corpus before the Bombay High Court, arguing that your friend’s continued detention without a proper investigation is illegal. The court can then direct the Mumbai police to expedite the investigation and consider your friend’s release on bail.
