The starting point
Public-law questions need a
precise route
Article 102 gives the High Court Division defined powers to issue orders and directions in specified circumstances. Its text distinguishes enforcement of Part III fundamental rights from other judicial-review orders and includes conditions and limits. Whether a route may be available can depend on the facts, the relevant authority and law, the remedy structure, the record and current procedure.
Is the question public-law in character?
Identify the decision, omission or process; the authority involved; and the legal source said to govern it. A private commercial dispute or an ordinary appeal falls outside this page’s scope.Is another route provided by law?
Article 102(2) includes an equally-efficacious-remedy condition. Statutory, tribunal or other routes may need to be mapped before a writ route is treated as open.What needs to be preserved now?
A clear chronology and the operative notices, orders, reasons, correspondence and statutory materials may be important. Any question of urgency or interim relief requires fact-specific legal and procedural assessment.A focused conversation

Official Bangladesh legislative and Supreme Court materials provide public information about the constitutional framework, court structure, rules and judicial records. They should be checked for currency and do not determine jurisdiction, standing, procedure, timing, urgency or the availability of relief in any specific circumstances.
High Court Division cause-list access
When checked on 8 September 2026, the official cause-list page displayed a High Court Division list and included a bench description referring to general writ motions. Cause lists, bench arrangements and administrative information are date-specific and should not be treated as an indication of future listing, allocation or duration.Read sourceRules and writ-form materials

What may
matter.
These answers are general information. The applicable route always depends on the facts, documents and current legal position.
What does Article 102 of the Bangladesh Constitution cover?
The official text of Article 102 sets out defined High Court Division powers. Article 102(1) concerns directions or orders for enforcement of Part III fundamental rights on the application of a person aggrieved. Article 102(2) describes other orders, subject to its stated conditions and limitations, including the condition concerning no other equally efficacious remedy provided by law.
Does Article 102 apply where there is another legal remedy?
Article 102(2) uses the phrase no other equally efficacious remedy is provided by law. Whether that condition may be met depends on the applicable law and facts; the constitutional language should not be converted into a categorical rule.
Where can High Court Division rules and public court information be checked?
The Supreme Court’s public Rules, High Court Division cause-list and judgments pages provide useful starting points. Online material may change and does not replace a current, tailored procedural assessment.
