Can equality or discrimination issues be raised in writ jurisdiction?

Writ & Administrative Law

Yes. Where State action or another constitutionally relevant public act violates the right to equality or unlawfully discriminates, writ jurisdiction can be invoked if the constitutional and jurisdictional requirements are satisfied.

The petition must connect the alleged unequal treatment to a protected constitutional or legal right.
