Facts: Present a chronological and concise account of the circumstances leading to the detention, including the date, time, and place of detention, as well as any legal authority responsible.

Legal Grounds: Explain the legal grounds on which you are seeking the writ of habeas corpus, emphasizing the violation of the detainee's fundamental rights and the lack of legal justification for the detention.

Details of Detainee: Provide the personal details of the detainee, including their name, age, address, and any relevant medical conditions or vulnerabilities.

Evidence: If available, attach any supporting documents, such as detention orders, communications, or witness statements, that corroborate your claims.

Verification: Explicitly state that the contents of the affidavit are true and correct to the best of your knowledge, belief, and information.

Conclusion: Summarize the key points and reiterate your plea for the issuance of the writ of habeas corpus.

Common Mistakes to Avoid:

Providing false or inaccurate information.
Being vague or unclear in your statements.
Including irrelevant or unnecessary details.
Submitting an unverified affidavit.
