Opinion
Argued November 1, 1966
Decided November 23, 1966
Habeas corpus alleging unlawful confinement, brought to the Superior Court in New London County and tried to the court, Bogdanski, J.; judgment dismissing the application, from which the plaintiff appealed. No error.
Joseph T. Sweeney, for the appellant (plaintiff).
No appearance for the appellee (defendant).
The application for a writ of habeas corpus is defective because it fails to state any basis for a claim of illegal confinement. Practice Book § 451. It also ignores the requirements of Practice Book § 452. If the objective of the plaintiff is to obtain an adjudication that his present mental condition does not require his confinement, he is entitled to be heard on that issue. But if he chooses habeas corpus rather than other available remedies, his application must set forth specific grounds for the issuance of the writ.
