What is a Writ Petition?

In simple words, a Writ is a formal "Command" issued by a High Court or the Supreme Court to a government official or a lower court.

  • Why do you need it? If the Police refuse to help, or if a Govt Office passes a wrong order, or if your property is taken illegally, you approach the High Court under Article 226.

  • How fast is it? Unlike regular cases that take years, a Writ can get you a 'Stay Order' or 'Protection' in just a few days if the matter is urgent.
