When does a writ get filed?

A writ is typically filed when a party seeks a higher court's intervention to compel an action, review a lower court's decision, or address a legal error that cannot be resolved through standard appellate procedures. It is commonly used in situations where there is an urgent need for relief, such as in cases of unlawful detention or the violation of rights. The filing must usually be accompanied by a clear explanation of the legal grounds for the writ and the specific relief sought.
