When a government department passes an illegal order, sits on an application it is bound to decide, cancels a sanction without hearing you, or violates a fundamental right, the remedy is a writ petition before the High Court. It is one of the most powerful tools a citizen has against the misuse of public power.
Advocate Ramesh Kadari drafts and argues writ petitions under Articles 226 and 227 of the Constitution — seeking mandamus to compel action, certiorari to quash an illegal order, prohibition to stop one, and directions to protect rights. Service matters, regularisation of land, permissions wrongly denied and arbitrary demolitions are common grounds.
A writ succeeds or fails on the precision of the legal ground. Each petition is built to show the authority acted without jurisdiction, against the rules, or in breach of natural justice — and to ask the court for the exact relief that fixes it.

Frequently asked questions
A writ petition is filed in the High Court through an advocate. It sets out the facts, the legal right that has been violated, the illegal act or inaction complained of, and the specific relief sought — supported by the relevant documents and, usually, proof that you first approached the authority. Because writs turn on precise legal grounds, they should be drafted by a lawyer who practises in the High Court.
