Constitutional and Writ Practice
The writ is often the only remedy that moves fast enough, and it is refused more often for being pleaded badly than for being unavailable
What we do
We appear in writ proceedings before the High Courts under Article 226 and, where the question warrants it, before the Supreme Court under Article 32. Challenges to regulatory action, licence refusal, cancellation and suspension, blacklisting, and orders passed without hearing. Judicial review of tender and procurement decisions. Challenges to demands, notices and orders where an alternative remedy exists but is illusory, which is the threshold objection in most such matters and has to be answered in the petition rather than at the hearing. Constitutional challenges to statutory provisions and subordinate legislation. Interim protection, which is usually the whole commercial point. Public law questions arising from a private commercial dispute, where the framing of the question decides whether the court entertains the petition at all.
