Writ Petitions in High Court

Writ Petitions in High Court

A writ petition is one of the most effective legal remedies available to protect an individual’s fundamental and legal rights. Under Articles 32 and 226 of the Constitution of India, the High Courts and the Supreme Court have the power to issue writs against unlawful actions, arbitrary decisions, or violation of rights by authorities. Common writs include Habeas Corpus (to protect personal liberty against illegal detention), Mandamus (to compel a public authority to perform its duty), Prohibition (to prevent a lower court or tribunal from exceeding its jurisdiction), Certiorari (to quash unlawful orders), and Quo Warranto (to challenge the legality of holding a public office). Filing a writ petition before the High Court ensures quick intervention and relief where no adequate alternative remedy is available.
