Which of the following is not type of the writ petition in India ?
Answer: D
The one that is not a writ is Certification.
The Supreme Court (Article 32) and the High Courts (Article 226) can issue five writs:
- Habeas corpus: produce a detained person before the court.
- Mandamus: order a public authority to perform its duty.
- Prohibition: stop a lower court from exceeding its jurisdiction.
- Certiorari: quash an order already passed without jurisdiction.
- Quo warranto: ask by what authority a person holds a public office.
'Certification' is a distortion of certiorari and is not a writ. Habeas corpus, mandamus and prohibition are genuine writs.
