Writs & Constitutional Remedies

Writ petitions, protection petitions and public law remedies before the High Court.

Overview

When public authorities fall short, the Constitution steps in.

The High Court’s writ jurisdiction under Article 226 of the Constitution is a powerful remedy against arbitrary or unlawful action by public authorities. We draft and argue writ petitions for individuals, businesses and institutions — challenging illegal orders, inaction and violations of fundamental and legal rights.

From urgent protection petitions to challenges against government decisions, we act swiftly and argue precisely.

Common questions

Writs & Constitutional Remedies: FAQs

What is a writ petition?

A writ petition asks the High Court (under Article 226) or the Supreme Court (under Article 32) to direct a public authority to act — or stop acting — in accordance with law, and to enforce fundamental and legal rights.

Can a writ be filed against a private company?

Writs generally lie against the State and its instrumentalities. Private bodies are amenable to writ jurisdiction only in limited situations, such as when they perform public duties.

How quickly can the High Court hear an urgent matter?

Genuinely urgent matters — such as threats to life or illegal detention — can be mentioned for urgent listing. We assess urgency and move promptly when it is warranted.
