Abstract
The Constitution of Bangladesh has conferred on the High Court Division (HCD) of the Supreme Court only original jurisdiction in the matter of writs. The basis of writ jurisdiction is the provision of Article 102 of the Constitution. The HCD on an application of any aggrieved person may pass appropriate order for enforcement of fundamental rights as enumerated in Part III of the Constitution.
Under Article 102(2), the HCD may make an order or directions or writs in the nature of mandamus, prohibition, certiorari, habeas corpus and quo-warranto whichever may be appropriate, for the enforcement of any of the rights conferred by this part. Finally the paper summarizes general conclusions making an overall assessment of the writ jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of Bangladesh.
