Which of the following is not a writ issued by the Supreme Court of India?
-
A.
Habeas Corpus
-
B.
Mandamus
-
C.
Quo Warranto
-
D.
Ultimum Supplicium
Correct Answer:
D. Ultimum Supplicium
Explanation:
Under Article 32 of the Indian Constitution, the Supreme Court is empowered to issue five specific types of writs to enforce fundamental rights: Habeas Corpus, Mandamus, Prohibition, Certiorari, and Quo-Warranto. These legal instruments serve as remedies against the violation of a citizen's rights by the state or public authorities. Since Ultimum Supplicium is not among these recognized categories, it is not a writ issued by the Supreme Court of India. Similarly, the Constitution originally included the Right to Property as a fundamental right, but it was transitioned to a legal right under Article 300A by the 44th Amendment Act in 1978, leaving six primary categories of fundamental rights today.
