Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Writ legal templates

What is a writ petition under Article 226/227?

It is a petition filed in a High Court seeking constitutional remedies against state action or tribunal/court orders, including supervisory jurisdiction under Article 227.

Which writ formats are included on this page?

Affidavits and petition formats for certiorari, mandamus, habeas corpus, quo warranto, prohibition, a general High Court writ petition, and replies to writs and tribunal orders.

When should I file certiorari vs. mandamus?

Certiorari seeks quashing of orders for jurisdictional error or illegality; mandamus compels a public authority to perform a statutory/public duty it has failed to discharge.

What must a writ petition contain?

Cause title, jurisdiction, facts, grounds of challenge (constitutional/statutory), specific prayers (including interim relief), list of dates, and a supporting affidavit with annexures.

Is alternate remedy a bar to writ jurisdiction?

Courts may decline writs if an effective statutory remedy exists, except in cases of jurisdictional error, breach of natural justice, or violation of fundamental rights.

How is a habeas corpus affidavit drafted?

State the person’s unlawful detention, detaining authority (if known), last seen details, steps taken, and urgent prayer for production and release, with supporting documents.

What is a writ of quo warranto?

It challenges a person’s authority to hold a public office, seeking a declaration that the appointment is invalid for lack of eligibility or legal defects.

What goes into a High Court reply to a writ petition?

Preliminary objections (maintainability, limitation, alternate remedy), para‑wise rebuttal of facts, legal grounds, documents relied upon, and a prayer to dismiss or modify relief.

Can writs lie against tribunal orders?

Yes, High Courts examine jurisdictional errors, perversity, or procedural violations; use certiorari/prohibition formats and include the impugned order and record extracts.

Any drafting tips for specialized writs (compensation/disability pension)?

Cite binding policy/circulars and precedent, attach service/medical records, quantify relief where possible, and justify maintainability despite alternative forums.
