Legal Prahi: Writs and Special Leave Petitions (SLP) – Civil & Criminal

At Legal Prahi, we specialize in providing comprehensive legal solutions related to Writs and Special Leave Petitions (SLPs) in both civil and criminal matters. With a deep understanding of constitutional law and a commitment to justice, we assist clients in navigating the complexities of the legal system, ensuring that their fundamental rights are upheld.

Understanding Writs

A writ is a formal legal document issued by a court that compels or restrains an individual, organization, or government authority from acting in a certain way. Writs play a crucial role in safeguarding the rights of individuals against violations by authorities. Under Article 32 and Article 226 of the Indian Constitution, individuals can approach the Supreme Court and High Courts, respectively, for the enforcement of their fundamental rights.

There are five types of writs:

1. Habeas Corpus: Protects an individual’s right to personal liberty and prevents unlawful detention.
2. Mandamus: Commands a public authority to perform its legal duty.
3. Prohibition: Stops a lower court or tribunal from exceeding its jurisdiction.
4. Certiorari: Transfers a case from a lower court to a higher court or quashes the lower court’s decision if it acted beyond its jurisdiction.
5. Quo Warranto: Questions the legality of a person’s claim to hold a public office.

At Legal Prahi, our legal experts are adept at drafting and filing writ petitions, ensuring that clients receive timely relief and justice.

Special Leave Petition (SLP)

An SLP is a unique mechanism provided under Article 136 of the Indian Constitution, allowing an aggrieved party to directly approach the Supreme Court against a judgment or order passed by a lower court or tribunal. The Supreme Court has the discretionary power to grant or deny an SLP, making it an extraordinary remedy for cases involving substantial questions of law or public interest.

SLPs can be filed in both civil and criminal cases, including but not limited to:

• Disputes involving property, contracts, or family matters.
• Cases involving criminal offenses where there is a miscarriage of justice.
• Matters where constitutional rights have been violated.

Our team at Legal Prahi possesses the expertise to analyze the merits of each case, prepare meticulously drafted petitions, and represent clients effectively before the apex court.
