Solution

The correct option is D 3 and 4 only

Explanation:

The Rule of Locus Standi refers to the legal principle that only the aggrieved individual can approach the judicial platforms for the exercise of remedy. However, under various Writs, any bona fide member of the society is allowed to appear for the enforcement of fundamental rights for the underprivileged members of the society.

Statement 1 is incorrect: This writ is issued to call upon the holder of a public office to show the court, under what authority he is holding that office. The Rule of Locus Standi does not apply here.

Statement 2 is incorrect: This writ is issued in cases to safeguard the individual liberty of any person. It is usually issued in cases of wrongful confinement of an individual by illegal detention of State or by any individual. The Rule of Locus Standi does not apply here.

Statement 3 is correct: This writ is in the nature of a command. It is passed against a public authority for the enforcement of official duties or statutory obligations. The Rule of Locus Standi applies here.

Statement 4 is correct: This writ is issued in cases against administrative, judicial, and quasi-judicial authorities when the case has been decided by the authority concerned or in the court of law and any order or direction has been passed. The Rule of Locus Standi applies here.
