What is writ?
A writ is a formal written order issued by a court that commands a person or entity to perform or refrain from performing a specific act. Writs are essential tools in the judicial system to enforce rights, provide remedies, and ensure justice. In the context of the legal system in Bangladesh, writs are particularly significant in protecting citizens’ fundamental rights and ensuring that public authorities act within the law.
Types of Writs in Bangladesh:
- Habeas Corpus: If someone is wrongly arrested or imprisoned, their family or friends can file a writ of habeas corpus under Article 102 of the Constitution. This writ ensures liberty and challenges unlawful detention.
- Mandamus: A writ commanding a public official or authority to perform a specific duty.
- Certiorari: Used to review decisions of lower courts or administrative bodies.
- Prohibition: Prevents an inferior court or tribunal from exceeding its jurisdiction.
- Quo Warranto: Challenges the authority of a person holding public office.
