Warrant for appearance of illegally held person
Sec. 1. Whenever it appears by affidavit that a person is illegally
held in custody or restraint and there is good reason to believe that
the applicant:
(1) will be carried out of the jurisdiction of the court or judge
before whom the application is made; or
(2) will suffer some irreparable injury before compliance with
the writ can be enforced;
the court or judge may cause a warrant to be issued, reciting the facts
and directed to the sheriff or any constable of the county,
commanding the sheriff or constable to take the restrained person
and immediately bring the person before the court or judge, to be
dealt with according to law.
As added by P.L.1-1998, SEC.21.
