High Courts Can Issue Writs Beyond Territorial Limits to Protect Fundamental Rights and Ensure Legal Accountability
Article 226 of the Indian Constitution empowers High Courts to issue writs within their territorial jurisdiction. These writs include habeas corpus, mandamus, prohibition, quo warranto, and certiorari for enforcing fundamental rights and other purposes. High Courts can issue writs in territories where the cause of action arises, even if the concerned government or authority is not located within those territories. The provision also includes procedural guidelines for interim orders, ensuring fair hearing and timely disposal of applications.
