The correct answer is: C. Judicial proceeding.
A judicial proceeding is a formal process in which a court of law hears a case and makes a decision. In the case of Article-226, a person who has been detained can file a writ petition in the High Court challenging their detention. The High Court will then hear the petition and decide whether the detention is lawful. If the High Court finds that the detention is unlawful, it will order the person’s release.
A civil proceeding is a legal action between two or more parties in which one party is seeking a remedy for a wrong that the other party has allegedly committed. A criminal proceeding is a legal action brought by the government against an individual who is accused of having committed a crime. A statutory proceeding is a legal action that is brought under a statute, or law.
In the case of Article-226, the proceeding is not a civil proceeding, because the person who has been detained is not suing the government. It is also not a criminal proceeding, because the person who has been detained is not accused of having committed a crime. It is a judicial proceeding, because the High Court is hearing the case and making a decision.
