In cases of illegal detention, individuals can seek legal redress through various avenues, including filing a writ of habeas corpus, seeking bail, and pursuing legal action against the state or individual responsible for the unlawful detention. Additionally, they can file complaints with human rights institutions and potentially seek compensation for wrongful confinement.

In cases of illegal detention, the following steps can be taken:

File a habeas corpus petition in the High Court or Supreme Court, seeking immediate release.
Inform the State Human Rights Commission or National Human Rights Commission.
Lodge a complaint with the police or higher authorities.
Approach the court for compensation and legal action against responsible officials.
