Filing a writ petition isn't like filing a normal lawsuit. It has a specific procedure: * Drafting: The petition is meticulously drafted by an advocate, containing a clear statement of facts, the legal grounds for relief, and a specific prayer for the desired writ. * Parties: The aggrieved person is the Petitioner. The authority or person against whom the relief is sought is the Respondent (usually a state government official, a university, a municipal corporation, etc.). * Filing: It is filed directly in the registry of the High Court that has territorial jurisdiction over the matter. * Hearing: Upon initial hearing, if the court finds a prima facie case, it issues a rule nisi, calling upon the respondent to show cause why the petition should not be granted. The court may also grant interim relief (e.g., staying an impugned order) at this stage. * Response: The respondent files a counter-affidavit justifying their action. * Final Hearing: After hearing arguments from both sides, the court passes a final judgment, either allowing the petition and granting the writ or dismissing it.
