The prevailing rule is that actual or physical restraint (not necessarily confinement) is required before a writ of habeas corpus may issue and that a person at large on bail is not so restrained of his liberty as to be entitled to a writ of habeas corpus.” (Footnotes omitted) 92 Ariz. at 128-129 , 374 P.2d at 881 .”
