Discussion
This writ is issued by a Higher Court asking a lower court not to proceed in a case which is beyond its jurisdiction. Which writ provided by the Indian Constitution is being discussed here?
Answer: B
A writ issued by a higher court to a lower court telling it not to proceed with a case that is beyond its jurisdiction is the writ of prohibition. It is issued while the proceedings are still pending, to prevent the lower court or tribunal from exceeding its jurisdiction.
Mandamus commands a public authority to perform a duty, habeas corpus produces a detained person before the court, and quo warranto asks by what authority a person holds a public office. Certiorari, which quashes a decision already made, is the related writ that is not among the options.
