Amar Odhikar Law Firm

Human-rights and public-interest work protects the liberties, dignity and civic welfare that underpin a democratic society. At Amar Odhikar Law Firm we advise and litigate on behalf of individuals, communities, and civil-society actors to secure constitutional and statutory rights, challenge unlawful state action, and pursue remedies that advance the public interest. We operate within Bangladesh’s legal framework and pursue domestic remedies—writs, statutory complaints, and tribunal processes—while coordinating with national institutions and civil society where appropriate. 

Our Services

We offer client-focused, legally rigorous services in human-rights and public-interest matters, including:

• Strategic public-interest litigation and writ petitions (fundamental-rights enforcement, mandamus, prohibition, certiorari, habeas corpus). 
• Habeas corpus and unlawful-detention remedies; representation in custody and detention challenges. 
• Cases on police misconduct, excessive use of force, unlawful arrests and remand abuse.
• Domestic-violence, gender-based violence, and protection-measure litigation.
• Children’s rights, trafficking, and juvenile-justice interventions.
• Minority, indigenous and refugee-related rights (strategic advice, litigation and policy engagement).
• Environmental and public-health public-interest litigation (access to clean water, pollution, endangered habitats).
• Prisoners’ rights, prison conditions, and legal aid for detained persons.
• Litigation and complaints to the National Human Rights Commission and engagement with oversight bodies. 
• Policy advice, legal research, amicus briefs, and stakeholder coordination for systemic reform.

When You Should Consult Us

Consult a human-rights lawyer if fundamental liberties are threatened (e.g., unlawful detention, denial of due process, forced evictions, systemic discrimination), where an issue affects a broad class of people, or when you wish to bring a public-interest challenge to unlawful or irrational government action. Early strategic advice helps preserve remedies, evidence, and the strongest legal theories for systemic impact.

What We Do for Clients

We combine litigation skill with policy-aware strategy. Our work includes fact-gathering and witness protection, drafting focused writs and petitions, negotiating interim relief, coordinating with NHRC and civil-society partners, and conducting appellate work where required. We prepare evidence-based submissions, pursue effective interim orders to safeguard rights, and where appropriate assist with communications to international treaty bodies or UN mechanisms in coordination with partner organisations.
