Habeas corpus—return of order
3507 Habeas corpus—return of order
On the return of a habeas corpus order, the court may do any of the following:
receive further evidence in support of the application for release from custody;
allow a person to whom the order is directed to show cause why the person should not be released from custody;
if it considers the person’s custody is unlawful—order the person’s release or other disposition;
set aside the order;
if the evidence presented to the court suggests someone else has custody of the person in custody—order another habeas corpus order issue directed to the other person;
make an order or give directions about the disposal of the proceeding, or about the person in custody, it considers appropriate.
