Q. Which of the following writs literally means ‘We Command’ ?
Answer: Mandamus
Notes: A writ of mandamus is a court order requiring a government official or entity to perform a specific act that is required by law. It is a type of extraordinary legal remedy that is available when there is no other legal means to remedy a situation and when the government official or entity has a clear legal duty to perform the act in question. A writ of mandamus can be issued by a court to a lower court, a government agency, or a public official, and it can be used to require the performance of a wide range of acts, including the issuance of a license or permit, the holding of an election, or the fulfillment of a contract.
