After submission of the Charge Sheet against 4 persons, the magistrate has taken cognizance under Section 364 IPC but the kidnapped boy is still not recovered either dead or alive and now the matter has commit to court of Sessions. I have filed a Habeas Corpus Writ for production of corpus. Now, I have some quarries:-

QUARRY 1- Whether Habeas Corpus Writ can be field at this stage as mentioned above (Maintainability as well as Scope of HC Writ)? If your answer is YeS kindly give me an appropriate Ruling of Supreme Court with this regard.

QUARRY 3- Should I challenge the Charge Sheet along with the cognizance taken by the magistrate by means of Section 482 of Cr. P. P. before the High Court? Or
