Fundamentally, a writ is a formal written order issued by anybody, executive or judicial, authorised to do so. In modern times, this body is generally judicial. Therefore, a writ can be understood as a formal written order issued by a Court having authority to issue such an order.

Any person whose fundamental rights are violated can move the High Court (under article 226 of Indian constitution) or the Supreme Court (under article 32) and the court can issue direction or orders or writs.

Writs of Certiorari Parties who are not satisfied with the decision of a lower court must petition the U.S. Supreme Court to hear their case. The primary means to petition the court for review is to ask it to grant a writ of certiorari.

A lower court or a body receives a writ of prohibition, also known as a 'stay order', to stop acting beyond its powers. The court issues a writ of mandamus for any illegal activity. Whereas, it issues the writ of prohibition against the lower courts to condemn their inactivity in the concerned matter.

The Constitution of India empowers the Supreme Court and the High Courts to issue Writs for the enforcement of the fundamental rights conferred by the Part-III of the Indian Constitution under Article 32 and Article 226. There are five types of Writs- Habeas Corpus, Mandamus, Certiorari, Prohibition and Quo- Warranto.

A case cannot, as a matter of right, be appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court. As such, a party seeking to appeal to the Supreme Court from a lower court decision must file a writ of certiorari. In the Supreme Court, if four Justices agree to review the case, then the Court will hear the case.
