Frequently Asked Questions: Constitutional Law
What are the different types of writs under the Constitution?
Articles 32 and 226 empower the Supreme Court and High Courts respectively to issue five kinds of writs — habeas corpus (to produce an illegally detained person), mandamus (directing a public authority to perform its duty), certiorari (quashing an order of a lower court or tribunal), prohibition (preventing a lower court from exceeding its jurisdiction), and quo warranto (questioning the legality of a person holding public office).
What is the difference between filing a writ under Article 32 and Article 226?
A writ under Article 32 can only be filed before the Supreme Court for enforcement of fundamental rights, while Article 226 gives High Courts a wider power to issue writs for enforcement of fundamental rights as well as for "any other purpose," making it a broader remedy available at the state level.
Who can file a Public Interest Litigation (PIL)?
A PIL can be filed by any public-spirited citizen or organisation, not necessarily the aggrieved party, before the High Court or Supreme Court to espouse the cause of a person or class unable to approach the court themselves, typically on issues of public importance such as environmental harm, corruption, or violation of the rights of a disadvantaged group.
What amounts to contempt of court in India?
Under the Contempt of Courts Act, 1971, contempt can be civil (wilful disobedience of a court order or undertaking) or criminal (acts that scandalise the court, prejudice judicial proceedings, or interfere with the administration of justice), and can attract imprisonment of up to 6 months and/or a fine.
Can a writ petition be filed against a private company?
Ordinarily writs lie against the State or other authorities performing public functions under Article 12; however, courts have in limited circumstances entertained writs against private bodies discharging public duties or functions closely akin to State functions.
How long does it take to get a decision on a writ petition?
Timelines vary widely depending on the urgency and nature of the matter — cases involving personal liberty, such as habeas corpus, are typically heard on priority, while other writ petitions may take several months to a few years depending on the court's docket and the complexity of the issues involved.
