The correct option is C Both A and B
Certiorari literally means to be certified. It can be issued by the Supreme Court or any High Court for quashing the order already passed by an inferior court. The writ of Certiorari is issued by the Supreme Court to a Lower Court or any other body to transfer a particular matter to the higher courts than itself. It is issued when an error of jurisdiction is committed.
