Writ jurisdiction refers to the authority of higher courts to issue writs—formal legal orders—to enforce fundamental rights and ensure justice. This powerful legal mechanism allows courts to address grievances and correct legal injustices that cannot be resolved through ordinary legal processes.
- Habeas Corpus: Ensures that a person detained unlawfully is brought before the court to determine the legality of their detention
- Mandamus: Orders a public authority to perform a duty that it is legally obligated to perform.
- Prohibition: Prevents a lower court or tribunal from exceeding its jurisdiction or acting beyond its authority.
- Certiorari: Reviews and quashes decisions made by lower courts or tribunals that have acted beyond their jurisdiction or made errors of law.
- Quo Warranto: Challenges a person’s right to hold a public office or position.
