Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS)
Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide.
Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.
(735 ILCS 5/10-106) (from Ch. 110, par. 10-106)
Sec. 10-106. Grant of relief - Penalty. Unless it shall appear from the
complaint itself, or from the
documents thereto annexed, that the party can neither be discharged,
admitted to pretrial release nor otherwise relieved, the court shall
forthwith award relief by habeas corpus. Any judge empowered to grant relief
by habeas corpus who shall corruptly refuse to grant
the relief when legally applied for in a case where it may lawfully be granted, or
who shall for the purpose of oppression unreasonably delay the granting
of such relief shall, for every such offense, forfeit to the prisoner or
party affected a sum not exceeding $1,000.
