Question

Q. With reference to Article 32 of the Indian Constitution, which of the following statements is/are incorrect?

Select the correct answer using the code given below:

• A. 1 only
• B. 2 only
• C. Both 1 and 2
• D. Neither 1 nor 2

Answer 1

The correct option is C Both 1 and 2

Explanation:

• Statement 1 is incorrect. Under Certiorari, the Supreme Court can quash the verdict of a District Court & transfer the case to itself.
• Statement 2 is incorrect. Mandamus literally means ‘we command’. When issued to a person or body, the writ of mandamus demands some activity on their part. It orders the person or body to perform a public or quasi-public duty, which they have refused to perform, and where no other adequate legal remedy exists to enforce the performance of that duty. Under Article 361, mandamus cannot be granted against the President or Governor of a State.
