Core Constitutional Litigation Practice
Our practice focuses on invoking the extraordinary jurisdictions of the High Court and Supreme Court to rectify gross legal errors, enforce fundamental rights, and strike down ultra vires executive actions.
Article 226 & 32 Writs
Filing writs of Mandamus, Certiorari, Prohibition, and Quo Warranto to compel public authorities to perform their duties, or to quash orders passed without legal jurisdiction.
Public Interest Litigation
Providing comprehensive counsel to non-profit entities, trusts, and foundations in structuring Public Interest Litigations (PILs) to enforce systemic legal reforms and protect marginalized groups.
Special Leave Petitions
Drafting and arguing Special Leave Petitions (SLPs) before the Supreme Court of India, challenging erroneous judgments and orders passed by various High Courts and specialized tribunals.
Statutory Validity Challenges
Litigating matters concerning the constitutional validity (vires) of newly enacted parliamentary legislation, state amendments, ordinances, and arbitrary delegated legislation.
Advocacy Before the Constitutional Courts
Constitutional litigation is the ultimate check against the arbitrary exercise of power by the "State" (as defined under Article 12). Success in these highly technical arenas—specifically the High Court of Delhi and the Supreme Court of India—relies on an immaculate understanding of legal precedent, constitutional interpretation, and administrative law.
A significant dimension of our practice involves representing non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and foundations. When civic bodies or government agencies implement policies that are demonstrably unjust or violative of fundamental rights, we meticulously draft Public Interest Litigations (PILs). We ensure the petition strictly adheres to the Supreme Court's guidelines to prevent it from being dismissed at the threshold as a frivolous or politically motivated filing.
Furthermore, for corporate entities facing sudden regulatory crackdowns, show-cause notices, or license cancellations without due process, standard civil suits are often inadequate due to time constraints. In such scenarios, invoking the writ jurisdiction under Article 226 provides an immediate, powerful mechanism to secure stay orders against administrative overreach.
Veeraya Legal approaches each constitutional matter with the analytical rigor required to effectively argue questions of law before constitutional benches and appellate judges.

Legal Information & FAQs
What is the difference between a Writ Petition under Article 32 and Article 226?
Article 32 allows an individual to approach the Supreme Court directly, but strictly only for the enforcement of Fundamental Rights (Part III of the Constitution). Article 226 confers power on High Courts to issue writs not only for Fundamental Rights violations but also for the enforcement of any other legal or statutory right, giving the High Courts a much wider jurisdictional scope.
Who has the locus standi to file a Public Interest Litigation (PIL)?
Traditionally, only the directly aggrieved party could approach the court. However, in a PIL, any public-spirited individual, registered non-profit organization, or foundation can file a petition on behalf of marginalized groups or for a broader social cause. The primary requirement is that the petition must be filed in absolute good faith and not for personal, political, or financial gain.
What is a Special Leave Petition (SLP)?
Under Article 136 of the Constitution, the Supreme Court of India holds the discretionary power to grant special leave to appeal against any judgment, decree, or order passed by any court or tribunal in the country. It is not an automatic right of appeal, but an extraordinary remedy invoked when a substantial question of law of general public importance is involved, or a gross miscarriage of justice has occurred.
Can a writ petition be filed against a private corporate entity?
Generally, writs under Article 226/32 are issued against the "State" or its instrumentalities. However, a writ petition can be maintained against a private entity if it is performing a public duty, discharging a statutory public function, or if there is deep and pervasive state control over the private entity's operations.
What is a Writ of Habeas Corpus?
Habeas Corpus translates literally to "produce the body." It is one of the most powerful constitutional remedies, used to secure the release of a person who has been illegally, secretly, or arbitrarily detained by law enforcement agencies or private individuals, without lawful justification.
