Imprisonment under Order 49B is lawful only where there is an order of committal made by a judge; arrest and imprisonment effected solely by a writ of execution without such an order are unlawful; the High Court, when seized of an Order 49B discharge application, may determine the lawfulness of the original detention and may grant temporary release under its inherent jurisdiction.
