A writ petition is a legal document that requests a court to order a lower court or government agency to perform or refrain from doing something. It is only appropriate when the court or agency has a legal obligation. The petition is initiated with an alternative mandamus petition, and the defendant must appear in court to respond. The United States uses mandamus relief sparingly, and the plaintiff must determine if the relief is available and if other remedies have been exhausted. The plaintiff must file an order directing the defendant to appear, and if they do not, a peremptory warrant is issued. A mandatory writ is a court order directing the lower court or agency to perform or refrain from performing the function.
A writ petition, also known as a writ, is a legal document that is filed with a court requesting that the court order a lower court or government agency to perform a function or refrain from doing something to which he is legally obligated to do or refrain from doing. It is not appropriate in situations where the court or agency has discretion to perform or not to perform the function. The petition, initiated with the filing of an alternative mandamus petition, orders the defendant to appear in court to respond to the plaintiff’s allegations.
The mandate concept of mandamus, which translated from Latin means “we command”, has a long history in law. While it is still used more frequently in other countries such as India, England and Wales, the United States uses the mandamus relief only sparingly at the federal level. State courts in the United States vary in their use of the act.
In order to file for a mandamus, a plaintiff would first need to determine that the requested relief is available through a petition for a mandamus warrant. If the function which the applicant wishes to enforce is in any way discretionary, then the mandamus exemption is inappropriate. Additionally, the applicant should be satisfied that another form of remedy, such as an appeal, need not be exhausted before the court considers a writ.
The mandate request begins with the filing of a petition for alternative mandamus. The alternative mandamus petition requests the court to order the court, or government agency, to perform the function, or to refrain from performing the function, or to appear before the court at a specified date and time to respond to the court on the matter at hand. The plaintiff must also prepare an order directing the defendant when and where to appear for the hearing.
If the accused does not appear at the hearing, the judge issues a peremptory warrant. A peremptory warrant will also be issued if the defendant is unable to respond to the allegations contained in the plaintiff’s mandamus motion. Mandatory writ is a court order directing the lower court, or government agency, to perform the function, or to refrain from performing the function, as requested in the original petition.
