Which of the following writ is issued by a higher court to a lower court?

a

None of these

b

Habeas Corpus

c

Prohibition

d

Quo Warranto

Answer : Option C
Explanation :

The writ of prohibition is issued by a higher

court to a lower court prohibiting it from taking

up a case because it falls outside the jurisdiction of the lower court. Thus, the higher court

transfers the case to itself. It means that the Supreme Court and High Courts may prohibit the

lower courts such as special tribunals, magistrates, commissions, and other judiciary officers

who are doing something which exceeds to their

jurisdiction or acting contrary to the rule of natural justice.
