Full Form of WRIT in Law
The WRIT Full Form in Law is a written official order issued by the court. A writ is a formal written order that the court issues. The official directive could be in the form of a directive, order, command, warrant, etc. Only the High Court under Article 226 and the Supreme Court under Article 32 of the Indian Constitution, 1950, have the authority to issue writs. The English common law doctrine of prerogative writs was included in the Indian constitution. The term “writs” was originally used to refer to a written royal order. However, in England, anyone who feels wronged by a ruling made by a lower court or administrative body may now file these writs.
To distinguish between writs and orders, one can say that writs are only granted in situations when the party who has been wronged is requesting an extraordinary remedy—typically in response to an administrative action—while orders are granted in any situation. The law provides five distinct forms of writ; however, no equivalent classification for orders has been established. Therefore, since the ambition of order is greater than that of writs, all writs can be referred to as orders, but not all orders can be referred to as writs.
