    Consider the following statements regarding the Right to Constitutional Remedies (Article 32) and types of 'Writs':

    1. AOnly 2, 3 and 4
    2. BOnly 1 and 2
    3. COnly 1, 3 and 4
    4. D1, 2, 3 and 4
    Answer and explanation

    Correct answer: A

    Mandamus cannot be issued against private individuals or bodies, so statement 1 is wrong. Quo warranto lets a court ask by what authority a person holds a public office, so statement 2 is correct. Prohibition is issued only against judicial or quasi-judicial authorities, making statement 3 correct, and the Supreme Court issues writs only for fundamental rights while High Courts can do so for other legal rights too, so statement 4 is correct.
