Which of the following writ is issued to compel an authority to do his duties or exercise his/her powers ?
Writ of Mandamus
Under Articles 32 and 226 of the Indian Constitution, the Supreme Court and the High Courts can issue writs to enforce rights and control public authorities.
Mandamus literally means we command; it is issued to a public servant, public body, corporation, inferior court or government directing it to perform a public duty that it has failed or refused to perform.
Habeas Corpus is used to produce a detained person before the court, Certiorari quashes an order already passed by an inferior court or tribunal, and Prohibition stops an inferior court from exceeding its jurisdiction, so none of these compels performance of a duty.
Therefore the writ meant to compel an authority to do its duty is Mandamus.
Hence, Writ of Mandamus.
