It is important to understand foremost that what is a writ? In the context of the Hon’Ble High Courts, a writ is an order by Hon’Ble High courts to Government authorities, Lower court or courts, directing them to do something or stop them from doing something. However, the conceptual framework for all the High Courts remains the same. Fundamentally, a writ is a formal written order issued by anybody, executive or judicial, authorized to do so. In modern times, this body is generally judicial. Orders, warrants, directions, summons, and others. are all essentially writs. It is equally essential to acknowledge and understand the fundamentals of a writ petition. A writ petition is an application filed before the competent Court, that is, in this context Hon’Ble High Court, requesting it to issue a specific writ. As per the Indian Constitution, Hon’Ble High Court holds powers under Article 226, against the decision of any court/individual lower according to their jurisdiction. A Writ petition of a civil or criminal nature depending on the situation can be filed by an Individual/aggrieved party to a higher level of court against the order/decision of the lower court.

Over and above forms of the writ, Judicial review is the idea, fundamental to the system of government, that the actions of the executive and legislative branches of government are subject to review and possible invalidation by the judicial branch. Judicial review allows the Supreme Court to take an active role in ensuring that the other branches of government abide by the constitution. It is one of the checks and balances in the separation of powers. It is the power of the judiciary to supervise the legislative and executive branches when the latter exceed their authority.

​

Thus, the concept of Writ petition was brought in the Constitution to help a victim if he/she/they is deprived of any right or injustice made to them or to help them fight against any decision taken by the last legal authority.
