Writ Petition seeking Writ of Quo Warranto in High Court under Article 226 of Constitution to cancel illegal appointment order and remove person illegally appointed.

Format of Writ Petition seeking Writ of Quo Warranto in the High Court under Article 226 of the Constitution. Download Format.

A petition seeking a writ of quo warranto questions the legal basis and authority of a person appointed to public office. For instance, the appointment of a member of a Railway Board not qualified to hold the post can be questioned by a writ of quo Warranto and appointment nullified if found to be illegal.

A writ of declaration issues to declare an executive, legislative or quasi- judicial act to be invalid in law. A petition seeking such declaratory relief must also necessarily seek certain consequential relief. For instance, immediate discontinuance of the illegal practice and appropriate remedial compensation.
