Constitutional Rights, Judicial Review & Writs

Constitutional and judicial-review matters involve fundamental rights, administrative decisions, governmental action, statutory interpretation and constitutional remedies. Legal services may include writ petitions, judicial review, challenges to administrative decisions and representation before the appropriate constitutional courts.

The principal framework is the Constitution of the People’s Republic of Bangladesh, particularly its provisions concerning fundamental rights and the constitutional jurisdiction of the High Court Division. Depending on the dispute, the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908, Code of Criminal Procedure, 1898, Administrative Tribunals Act, 1980 and Right to Information Act, 2009 may also be relevant. International human-rights instruments including the UDHR, ICCPR, ICESCR, CRC, CEDAW and CAT may provide relevant legal context where applicable to the subject matter.
