Constitutional Matters Services
Constitutional remedies in India — writ petitions, PILs, fundamental-rights and habeas corpus petitions before High Courts and the Supreme Court.
Constitutional Matters cover remedies against unlawful action by the State and public authorities. The Supreme Court (under Article 32) and the High Courts (under Article 226) can issue writs — habeas corpus, mandamus, certiorari, prohibition and quo warranto — to protect fundamental and legal rights.
WCP's verified advocates assess whether a writ is the right remedy, draft petitions with the material facts, grounds and precise relief, and move urgent matters where liberty or a fundamental right is at stake.
What is covered:
- Writ petitions and public interest litigation (PIL)
- Petitions to enforce fundamental rights
- Constitutional bail and habeas corpus
Where an equally effective statutory remedy exists, courts usually expect it to be used first — so the choice of remedy is decided at the outset.

Frequently asked questions
- What is a writ petition?
- A petition asking a High Court (Article 226) or the Supreme Court (Article 32) to issue an order such as mandamus or certiorari against unlawful action by a public authority.
- What are the five writs?
- Habeas corpus, mandamus, certiorari, prohibition and quo warranto.
- Who can file a PIL?
- Any public-spirited person acting in good faith for the public interest, not for personal gain; courts dismiss PILs filed for private or political motives.
- Should I go to the High Court or the Supreme Court?
- Usually the High Court first under Article 226, which has wider scope; Article 32 is reserved for enforcing fundamental rights.
- Can a writ be filed against a private company?
- Generally no, unless the body performs a public function or is an instrumentality of the State.
- Is there a time limit for a writ petition?
- No fixed limitation, but unexplained delay can lead the court to refuse relief.
