👉 Short Answer: Sometimes YES, but mostly NO!
India’s judicial ladder has rules—and you can’t always take the elevator to the top floor. 🚫🏢🛗

🔍 Here’s when you can go directly to the High Court:

✅ Writ Petitions under Article 226 of the Constitution (like in cases of violation of fundamental rights or administrative injustice)
✅ Public Interest Litigations (PILs) – when the issue affects the public at large
✅ Appeals & Revisions – if you’re challenging a lower court judgment
✅ Special Original Jurisdiction Cases – like election disputes or service matters for government employees

📉 But here’s when you can’t go to the High Court directly:

❌ In civil or criminal cases where lower courts have primary jurisdiction
❌ Small commercial disputes, consumer cases, cheque bounce matters—start from the bottom
❌ Just because you want “quick justice” 😅
Courts don’t entertain legal shortcuts. Skipping lower courts can get your case dismissed for lack of jurisdiction. 📜✖️
