Under Article 102 of the Constitution of the People's Republic of Bangladesh, the High Court Division of the Supreme Court possesses extraordinary jurisdiction to issue directions, orders, or writs for the enforcement of fundamental rights and legal remedies.

Types of Writs Commonly Filed:

  1. Writ of Mandamus: Compelling a public authority or government officer to perform a statutory duty they have failed to execute.
  2. Writ of Certiorari: Quashing an illegal administrative order, tribunal decision, or notice issued without lawful authority.
  3. Writ of Prohibition: Restraining a lower court or public tribunal from acting beyond its jurisdiction.
  4. Writ of Habeas Corpus: Directing the production of a person unlawfully detained in custody.

When Should You Consult a Supreme Court Advocate?

When administrative bodies issue arbitrary cancellation orders, illegal land acquisition notices, or breach statutory procedures without due process, filing a Writ Petition before the High Court Division provides swift interim stay orders and ultimate legal redress.
