When from sickness or infirmity of theperson directed to be produced such person cannot be brought before the court without danger,<br>the person in whose power or custody such person is may state that fact in the return to the writ,<br>verifying the same by affidavit. If the court is satisfied of the truth of such return and the return to<br>the writ is otherwise sufficient, the court may proceed to decide on such return and to dispose of<br>the matter as if such party had been produced on the writ, or the hearing thereof may be<br>adjourned until such party can be produced.32-22-14. When hearing must be had. The court before whom the writ is returned,immediately after the return or within five days thereafter, must proceed to hear and examine the<br>return, and such other matters as may be properly submitted for its consideration.32-22-15. Return may be controverted - Proofs. The party brought before the court onthe return of the writ may deny or controvert any of the material facts or matters set forth in the<br>return, or except to the sufficiency thereof, or allege any fact to show either that the imprisonment<br>or detention is unlawful or that the party is entitled to be discharged. The court thereupon mustPage No. 3proceed in a summary way to hear such proof as may be produced against such imprisonment<br>or detention, or in favor of the same, and to dispose of such party as the justice of the case may<br>require, and has full power and authority to require and compel the attendance of witnesses, by<br>process of subpoena and attachment, and to do and perform all other acts and things necessary<br>to a full and fair hearing and determination of the case. The court may allow the return to be<br>amended according to the facts of the case, whenever it may be deemed necessary.32-22-16. When person restrained must be discharged. If no legal cause is shownfor the imprisonment or restraint or for the continuation thereof, the court must discharge the<br>party from the custody or restraint under which the party is held.32-22-17. Causes for discharge of person restrained. If it appears on the return of thewrit that the party is in custody by virtue of process from any court of this state, or any judge or<br>officer thereof, such person may be discharged in any of the following cases, subject to the<br>restrictions of section 32-22-02:1.When the jurisdiction of such court or officer has been exceeded.2.When the imprisonment was at first lawful, but by some act, omission, or event<br>which has taken place afterward, the party has become entitled to a discharge.3.When the process is defective in some matter of substance required by law<br>rendering such process void.4.When the process, though regular in form, has been issued in a case not allowed by<br>law.5.When the person having the custody of the party is not the person allowed by law to<br>detain the party.6.When the process is not authorized by any order or judgment of any court nor by<br>any provisions of law.7.When a party has been committed on a criminal charge without reasonable or<br>probable cause.8.When the process appears to have been obtained by false pretense or bribery.32-22-18. Informal commitment from district judge. If the person is committed toprison, or is in custody of an officer on a criminal charge, by virtue of a warrant of commitment of<br>a district judge, the person must not be discharged on the ground of any mere defect of form in<br>the warrant of commitment.32-22-19. Procedure when person appears to be guilty. If it appears to the court, byaffidavit or otherwise, or upon inspection of the process or warrant of commitment and<br>proceedings as may be shown to the court, that the party is guilty of a criminal offense or ought<br>not to be discharged, such court, although the charge is defectively or not substantially set forth<br>in such process or warrant of commitment, must cause the complainant or other necessary<br>witness to be subpoenaed to attend at such time as ordered, to testify before the court, and upon<br>the examination the judge may discharge such party, admit the party to bail if the offense is<br>bailable, or recommit the party to custody, as may be just and legal.32-22-20. Habeas corpus to give bail. Whenever a person is imprisoned or detained incustody on a criminal charge, for want of bail, such person is entitled to a writ of habeas corpus<br>for the purpose of giving bail, upon averring that fact in such person's petition, without alleging<br>that the person is confined illegally.Any judge in or out of the court in which the judge isauthorized to act may take an undertaking of bail from any person who has been committed on a<br>criminal charge, when brought before the judge on a writ of habeas corpus, as in other cases, if<br>the offense is bailable, and file the undertaking in the proper court.Page No. 432-22-21. Procedure when person not entitled to discharge. If a party brought beforethe court on the return of the writ is not entitled to a discharge, and is not admitted to bail or<br>bailed when allowable, the court must remand the party to custody, or place the party under the<br>restraint from which the party was taken, if the person under whose custody or restraint the party<br>was is legally entitled thereto.32-22-22. Prisoner may be ordered to custody of proper officer. In cases in whichany party is held under illegal restraint or custody, and any other person is entitled to the custody<br>or restraint of such party, the court may order such party to be committed to the custody or<br>restraint of such person as by law is entitled thereto.32-22-23. How person disposed of before judgment. Until judgment is given on thereturn, the court before whom any party may be brought on such writ may commit the party to<br>the sheriff of the county or place the party in such care or under such custody as the party's age<br>or circumstances may require.32-22-24. When notice of hearing must be given state's attorney. When it appearsthat the person in whose behalf a writ of habeas corpus is issued is held upon a criminal charge<br>of any kind, notice of the time and place of the hearing upon the return shall be given to the<br>state's attorney of the county where the offense arose if the person is within the state's attorney's<br>county. In other cases, like notice shall be given to any person interested in continuing the<br>custody or restraint of the party asking aid of such writ.32-22-25. Person taken out of county - Expenses. Whenever the officer or person towhom a writ of habeas corpus is directed and delivered is required thereby to make return and<br>take the person in whose behalf the writ is issued into a county other than the county in which<br>such person is imprisoned or restrained, the court awarding the writ, at the court's discretion,<br>may ascertain, and by an entry thereon specifying the amount, but not exceeding fifteen cents<br>per mile, may require the payment or tender, at the time of delivering the writ, of the charges of<br>obeying the same. However, in no case when an entry is not made can the payment or tender of<br>such charges be demanded before the return of the writ in accordance with its direction.32-22-26. Writ must not be disobeyed. No writ of habeas corpus can be disobeyed fordefect of form, if it sufficiently appears therefrom in whose restraint the party imprisoned or<br>restrained is, the officer or person detaining the party, and the court before whom the party is to<br>be brought.32-22-27. When person discharged may be arrested again. No person who has beendischarged by the order of the court upon habeas corpus can be imprisoned again or kept in<br>custody for the same cause, except in any of the following cases:1.If the person has been discharged from custody on a criminal charge and is<br>committed afterwards for the same offense, by legal order or process.2.If, after a discharge for defect of proof, or for any defect of the process, warrant, or<br>commitment in a criminal action, the accused is arrested again on sufficient proof<br>and committed by legal process for the same offense.3.If in a civil action the party has been discharged for any illegality in the order,<br>judgment, or process and afterwards is imprisoned by legal process for the same<br>claim for relief.32-22-28. How obedience to order of discharge enforced. Obedience to an order forthe discharge of any person, granted pursuant to the provisions of this chapter, may be enforced<br>by the court or judge issuing such writ, or granting such order, by attachment, in the same<br>manner as hereinbefore provided for a neglect to make a return to a writ of habeas corpus, and<br>the person guilty of such disobedience shall forfeit to the party aggrieved five hundred dollars, in<br>addition to any special damages such party may have sustained.Page No. 532-22-29. Person restrained in danger of being taken out of jurisdiction - Warrant.When it appears to any court authorized by law to issue the writ of habeas corpus that anyone is<br>illegally held in custody, confinement, or restraint, and that there is reason to believe that the<br>person will be carried out of the jurisdiction of the court, or will suffer some irreparable injury<br>before compliance with the writ of habeas corpus can be enforced, the court may cause a<br>warrant to be issued reciting the facts and directed to the sheriff or coroner of the county,<br>commanding the officer to take the person thus held in custody, confinement, or restraint, and<br>forthwith bring that person before the court to be dealt with according to law. The court also may<br>insert in the warrant a command for the arrest of the person charged with the illegal detention<br>and restraint.32-22-30. Execution of warrant. The officer to whom such warrant is delivered mustexecute it by bringing the person therein named before the court who directed the issuing of such<br>warrant, but if such warrant is issued by the supreme court or a judge thereof, upon the return of<br>the warrant, the hearing and decision of the matter may be ordered by such court or judge to be<br>had before the district court of the proper county or the judge thereof.32-22-31. Return to warrant - Procedure. The person alleged to have such party underillegal confinement or restraint may make return to such warrant, as in case of a writ of habeas<br>corpus, and the same may be denied, and like allegations, proofs, and trial thereupon may be<br>had as upon a return to a writ of habeas corpus.32-22-32. When person must be discharged. If the party is held under illegal custodyor restraint, the party must be discharged or be restored to the care or custody of the person<br>entitled thereto.32-22-33. When writ may be served. Any writ or process authorized by this chaptermay be issued and served on any day or at any time.32-22-34.Accused liberated for want of prosecution.If any person shall becommitted for a criminal or supposed criminal matter and not admitted to bail, and shall not be<br>tried on or before the second term of the court having jurisdiction of the offense, the prisoner<br>shall be set at liberty by the court, unless the delay shall happen on the application of the<br>prisoner. If such court at the second term shall be satisfied that due exertions have been made<br>to procure the evidence for and on behalf of the state, and that there are reasonable grounds to<br>believe that such evidence may be procured at the third term, it shall have power to continue<br>such case until the third term. If any such prisoner shall have been admitted to bail for a crime<br>other than a capital offense, the court may continue the trial of said cause to a third term, if it<br>shall appear by oath or affirmation that the witnesses for the state are absent, such witnesses<br>being mentioned by name, and the court shown wherein their testimony is material.32-22-35. Writ not allowed to delay trial. To prevent any person from avoiding ordelaying that person's trial, it shall not be lawful to remove any prisoner on habeas corpus under<br>this chapter out of the county in which the prisoner is confined, within fifteen days next preceding<br>the term of the court at which such person ought to be tried, unless it is to convey the prisoner<br>into the county where the offense with which the prisoner stands charged properly is cognizable.32-22-36.
