Litigation Procedure & Appellate Trajectory

Constitutional writs are initiated by filing a Civil Writ Jurisdiction Case (CWJC) or Criminal Writ before the Hon’ble Single Bench or Division Bench. Urgent interim reliefs (stay of impugned notices, recovery, or coercive action) are sought upon preliminary admission. Where an adverse ruling arises from a Single Judge, an intra-court appeal (Letters Patent Appeal - LPA) is placed before the Division Bench within limitation.

ℹLimitation periods and forum hierarchy apply strictly under relevant Bihar state rules.
