If your fundamental rights have been violated, or a government/public authority has failed in its legal duty, a Writ Petition filed in the Madras High Court is your most powerful constitutional remedy.
Experienced Chennai-based Writ Petition lawyers specialize in navigating the complex procedures and constitutional law involved in securing justice through Articles 226 and 227 of the Constitution of India.
What is a Writ Petition?
A Writ Petition is a legal remedy available under the Indian Constitution, primarily filed in the High Courts (under Article 226) or the Supreme Court (under Article 32). It is an extraordinary power used to seek justice when an individual's fundamental rights have been violated, or when a public authority has failed to perform its legal duty or has acted unjustly.

Habeas Corpus:
To produce a person who is allegedly being illegally detained. wrongful confinement
of a person by state authorities.
Mandamus:
To compel a public official, tribunal, or government entity to perform a specific
statutory duty they have failed or refused to perform.
Prohibition:
To stop a lower court or tribunal from proceeding with a case that falls outside its
legal jurisdiction.
Certiorari:
To quash an order or decision passed by a lower court or quasi-judicial body that
has acted in excess of its jurisdiction or made a legal error.
Quo Warranto:
To challenge the legal authority of a person holding a public office (e.g., if their
appointment was illegal).
