Question

Under which writ, the court orders a lower court or another authority to transfer a matter pending before it to the higher authority or court?

• A. Habeas Corpus
• B. Mandamus
• C. Quo Warranto
• D. Certiorari

Hint:

“Certiorari” is used for judicial review — to quash an order passed by a lower court or tribunal.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

The writ of Certiorari is used by a higher court to review a case from a lower court. It is issued when the higher court finds that the lower court has acted without or in excess of jurisdiction or has made a legal error. It is corrective in nature.
