Writ is a legal document issued by a court or judicial officer. It is a written court order directing a person to take, or refrain from taking, a certain act. In brief, it is a formal written order issued by a body with administrative or judicial jurisdiction.

Delay in seeking remedy under writ is a ground for refusing the prayer.

These related applications of the petitioners canĀ­not be allowed on the ground that it will upset a condition prevailing for the last three years and create complications and chaos. If the petitioners thought that the notifications were made illegally they should have promptly come before this Court seeking remedy. [M/s. Amin Jute Mills Ltd vs. the Chittagong Municipality (1968) 20 DLR 1041]
