CLAT 2024 Daily Practice Questions for 1 September 2023

Check out the daily practice questions for CLAT 2024 from the Legal Section that are based on the case study provided below:

Case Study: Writ is a public law remedy. It refers to a formal, written order issued by a judicial authority directing an individual or authority to do or refrain from doing an act. The High Court, while exercising its power of judicial review, does not act as an appellate body. It is concerned with illegality, irrationality and procedural impropriety of an order passed by the State or a Statutory Authority. A High Court is empowered to issue directions, orders or writs for the enforcement of Fundamental Rights and for any other purpose. The writ jurisdiction of the High Court is discretionary and equitable. A writ of mandamus is issued by a court commanding a public authority to perform a public duty belonging to its office. It can be issued only when a legal duty is imposed on the authority and the petitioner has the right to compel the performance of such duty. Writ of mandamus is requested to be issued, inter alia, to compel the performance of public duties which may be administrative, ministerial or statutory in nature. A writ of mandamus may be issued in favour of a person who establishes a legal right in himself. It may be issued against a person who has a mandatory legal duty to perform, but has failed or has neglected to do so. Such a legal duty emanates from the operation of law. The writ of mandamus is most extensive in regard to its remedial nature. The object of the mandamus is to prevent disorder emanating from failure of justice and is required to be granted in all cases where the law has established no specific remedy.
