Writ Remedies (Remediable Rights under Public Law)

.............................................................................................................................
Description
The Sixth Edition of Writ Remedies is written omitting some repetition of cases making the size of this book handy. All over the world constitutional rights and human rights marked the beginning of a new era in the field of public law. Keeping in mind the needs of the readers I have made this edition smaller and handier, but keeping in view the rights for which remedies are available in public law. This work consists of 19 important Chapters including new cases decided by the Supreme Court of India as well as English Courts. My endeavour is to remind the Legislature and the Executive and particularly the Judiciary to try to remain within their well-defined jurisdictional limits under the Constitution. I have come across situations in some cases of the Supreme Court where the Constitutional mandate has been bypassed. I am just an author, not a social or legal reformer. The object of this book is to try and give an accurate picture of the development of law and practice for the benefit of the judicial system of this country and thus to contribute to the just disposal of cases according to law following constitutional principles. My endeavour is also to get people to know the exact rights which can be protected by the judiciary functioning within its own limitations.
This book contains three parts. Part-I of the work consists of 19 Chapters which includes a general introduction explaining concepts like judicial control and administrative action. The other chapters deal with the scope of Articles 32 and 226 of the Constitution; against whom Writ lies; Locus Standi; alternative remedy; delay, acquiescence and estoppel; suppression of material facts; Public Law and Private Law; Mandamus', Certiorari', Prohibition; Quo-Warranto', Habeas Corpus', grounds of judicial review; intensity of judicial review; judicial review of cases; Judicial Activism; Public Interest Litigation and the rights we have.
Part-II consists of Guidelines for drafting Writ petitions—Check List and Model Petitions and Part-Ill consists of High Court Rules.
