Name the four Writs that the High Court can issue for the enforcement of Fundamental Rights.

(1) HABEAS CORPUS — "you may have the body": the court orders a detained person to be produced before it and released if the detention is unlawful. (2) MANDAMUS — "we command": the court orders a public official or a lower court to perform a duty it has failed or refused to perform. (3) PROHIBITION — the court forbids a lower court or tribunal from proceeding in a case beyond its jurisdiction. (4) QUO WARRANTO — "by what authority": the court asks a person by what right he holds a public office, and may remove him if his claim is bad. (CERTIORARI, by which a case is transferred from a lower court to a higher one, is the fifth writ.)

Four marks, four writs, one mark each. Name each AND say what it does — a bare list of Latin words risks half marks, and the meanings are easy to attach because most translate directly. Learn all FIVE even though only four are asked, so that you have a spare: Habeas Corpus, Mandamus, Prohibition, Quo Warranto, Certiorari. The High Court issues these under Article 226, and its power is actually wider than the Supreme Court’s under Article 32 — it extends beyond Fundamental Rights to any legal right.
