TAN ME NIO v. INSULAR COLLECTOR OF CUSTOMS

This case has been cited 1 times or more.

SANDOVAL-GUTIERREZ, J.
Meanwhile, the instant petition challenging the Decision of the Court of Appeals granting the writ of habeas corpus in favor of respondents has become moot. We recall that respondents were released after posting the required bail as ordered by the Court of Appeals. A writ of habeas corpus will not lie on behalf of a person who is not actually restrained of his liberty. And a person discharged on bail is not restrained of his liberty as to be entitled to a writ of habeas corpus.[17]
