Understanding Writ Petitions: Your Path to Justice

A writ petition is a formal written order issued by the Supreme Court, in its writ jurisdiction, to a lower court, tribunal, public authority, or even private individuals, commanding them to perform or refrain from performing a specific act. The Constitution of Bangladesh (Articles 102 & 103) grants the High Court Division the power to issue various types of writs.

Types of Writ Petitions We Handle:

Our firm provides expert legal services in drafting, filing, and arguing all forms of writ petitions before the High Court Division, including:

• Writ of Habeas Corpus:
  • Purpose: This writ is primarily concerned with the personal liberty of an individual. It is filed to challenge unlawful detention or imprisonment, demanding that the detaining authority produce the detained person before the court and show legal justification for their confinement.
  • When Used: When a person is illegally or improperly detained by the state or even by a private individual.
  • Our Role: We act swiftly to file these petitions, arguing for the immediate release of unlawfully detained individuals and safeguarding their freedom.
• Writ of Mandamus:
  • Purpose: This writ is a command issued by the High Court to a public authority, official, or tribunal, directing them to perform a specific public duty that they are legally bound to perform but have failed or refused to do.
  • When Used: When a public body or official neglects to perform a duty owed to a citizen or when there is an arbitrary refusal to act.
  • Our Role: We compel public bodies to fulfill their statutory or public obligations, ensuring efficient and lawful governance.
• Writ of Prohibition:
  • Purpose: This writ is issued to a lower court, tribunal, or quasi-judicial body to prevent it from exceeding its jurisdiction or from acting without jurisdiction. It “prohibits” them from proceeding with an action that is beyond their legal authority.
  • When Used: When a judicial or quasi-judicial body is about to act outside its legal powers.
  • Our Role: We protect against the abuse of power by public authorities, ensuring they operate strictly within their legal boundaries.
• Writ of Certiorari:
  • Purpose: This writ is issued by the High Court to quash or set aside the decision, order, or proceedings of a lower court, tribunal, or administrative body. It reviews decisions where there is an error of law apparent on the face of the record, or where jurisdiction has been exceeded or abused.
  • When Used: To correct errors or injustices committed by lower tribunals or to overturn decisions made without proper authority or in violation of natural justice.
  • Our Role: We challenge and nullify unlawful or erroneous decisions of lower authorities, restoring justice for our clients.
• Writ of Quo Warranto:
  • Purpose: This writ challenges the legality of a person holding a public office. It asks “by what authority” a person holds a public position and seeks to oust them if their appointment is found to be illegal.
  • When Used: When there is a dispute or question regarding the lawful appointment or continuation of a person in a public office.
  • Our Role: We ensure public offices are held by individuals who are legally entitled to them, promoting transparency and accountability in public administration.
• Public Interest Litigation (PIL):
  • Purpose: While not a distinct writ type, PILs are typically filed under Article 102 to address issues of public importance, where fundamental rights of a large group of people are being violated or threatened. The court can take cognizance of such matters even on the basis of a letter or newspaper report.
  • When Used: To address environmental degradation, human rights violations, public health issues, and other matters affecting the wider community.
  • Our Role: We represent individuals or groups seeking to advance a broader public interest, contributing to social justice and governmental accountability.
