Which of the following is NOT a writ issued by the Supreme Court of India?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. Jus Soli.
Jus Soli is a principle of law concerning nationality or citizenship, which grants individuals born within a country's territory the right to its nationality or citizenship. It is not a writ that can be issued by the Supreme Court of India.
The other options are all types of writs that the Supreme Court of India can issue:
- Prohibition: A writ issued by a higher court to prevent an inferior court or tribunal from exceeding its jurisdiction.
- Habeas corpus: A writ issued to secure the release of a person who has been unlawfully detained or imprisoned.
- Quo warranto: A writ issued to question the authority of a person holding a public office.
