High Court writ jurisdiction expanded to redress rights and substantial injury, subject to procedural safeguards and limits. The substituted Article 226 grants High Courts power to issue writs across their territories to enforce Part III rights and to redress substantial injury from constitutional, statutory or subordinate-instrument contraventions, and from illegality in authority proceedings causing substantial failure of justice. It allows exercise of jurisdiction where the cause of action arises within the court's territory even if the respondent is located elsewhere, bars petitions where alternate remedies exist, and conditions interim orders on prior service and hearing except for brief, reasoned emergency relief which lapses unless procedural requirements are met, while prohibiting interim relief that would delay public inquiries, criminal investigations, or public utility works.
