Question
How does the Writ of Prohibition differ from the Writ of Certiorari?
Advertisements
Solution
The Writ of Prohibition is issued to prevent an inferior court from exercising powers with which it is not legally vested. It directs the inferior to keep within the limits of their authority.
The Writ of Certiorari asks the lower court to hand over the record of a particular case to the higher court. The difference between the two is that they are issued at different stages of the proceedings. The Writ of Prohibition is preventive, whereas the Writ of Certiorari is remedial.
