| Abstract: | "From Royal Prerogative to Constitutional Remedy: A Historical Evolution of Writs in English and Indian Law" Dr. Sonam Diki Dolma Bhutia, Sr. Assistant Prof, Sikkim Govt.Law College, Gangtok, Sikkim According to Dicey,” Prerogative writs are the bulwark of English Liberty, for thereby individual’s rights are safeguarded even without the declaration that they are fundamental. Abstract This paper traces the historical evolution of writ jurisdiction from its origins in the English Royal Prerogative to its current status as a fundamental constitutional remedy in India. Initially, prerogative writs were discretionary commands from the English monarch designed to supervise inferior courts and uphold the law. The study examines the transplantation of this system into India through colonial charters and its subsequent codification in the Constitution of India, which transformed these royal powers into enforceable rights. It contrasts the limited scope of the English model with the expansive powers conferred on Indian courts under Articles 32 and 226. While Article 32 empowers the Supreme Court to enforce Fundamental Rights, Article 226 grants High Courts broader jurisdiction to address violations of legal rights and "any other purpose." The paper provides a detailed analysis of the five specific writs Habeas Corpus, Mandamus, Prohibition, Certiorari, and Quo Warranto highlighting their procedural distinctions and applications. Furthermore, it explores the modernization of this jurisdiction through Public Interest Litigation (PIL), which has relaxed traditional rules of standing to protect marginalized communities. The paper concludes by evaluating the future of writ jurisprudence, emphasizing the necessity for courts to adapt to technological advancements and the expanding role of private entities performing public duties. |
