The High Court Division exercises supervisory constitutional powers where no other equally efficacious alternative legal remedy is provided by law.

Common scenarios include challenging illegal land acquisition, discriminatory government job termination, wrongful tender cancellations, and unlawful police detention.

Except in Habeas Corpus petitions, serving a formal Demand for Justice notice to the respondent authorities is a customary prerequisite before filing.

Petition drafting on Supreme Court ledger paper, motion hearing before the designated Writ Bench, issuance of Rule Nisi and Stay Orders, typically ranging from BDT 30,000 to BDT 80,000 depending on complexity.
