The Indian Constitution empowers the Supreme Court and High Courts to issue writs for enforcement of any of the fundamental rights conferred by Part III of Indian Constitution.
The writ issued by Supreme Court and High Court differs mainly in three aspects:
a) The Supreme Court can issue writs only for the enforcement of fundamental rights whereas a High Court can issue writs for enforcement of fundamental rights along with “ for any other purpose” (refers to the enforcement of any legal right).
b) SC can issue writ against a person or government throughout the territory whereas High Court can issue writs against a person residing or against a government located within its territorial jurisdiction or outside its jurisdiction only if the cause of action arises within the territorial jurisdiction.
c) SC writs are under Article 32 which in itself is a fundamental right thus SC cannot refuse to exercise its writ jurisdiction. Whereas article 226 is discretionary thus HC can refuse to exercise its writ jurisdiction.
Types of writs:
• Habeas Corpus
Habeas corpus is a Latin term which literally means "You may have the body". The concept of writ of habeas corpus has originated from England. This is a writ or legal action which can be used by a person to seek relief from illegal detention. The writ is a direction of the Court to a person who is detaining another, commanding him to bring the body of the person in his custody at a specified time to a specified place for a specified purpose.
A writ of habeas corpus has only one purpose: to set at liberty a person who is confined without legal justification; to secure release from confinement of a person unlawfully detained. The writ does not punish the wrong-doer. If the detention is proved unlawful, the person who secures liberty through the writ may proceed against the wrong - doer in any appropriate manner. The writ is issued not only against authorities of the State but also to private individuals or organizations if necessary.
• Mandamus
The Latin word 'mandamus' means 'we command'. The writ of 'mandamus' is an order of the High Court or the Supreme Court commanding a person or a body to do its duty. Usually, it is an order directing the performance of ministerial acts. A ministerial act is one which a person or body is obliged by law to perform under given circumstances. For instance, a licensing officer is obliged to issue a license to an applicant if the latter fulfills all the conditions laid down for the issue of such license. Similarly, an appointing authority should issue a letter of appointment to a candidate if all the formalities of selection are over and if the candidate is declared fit for the appointment. But despite the fulfillment of such conditions, if the officer or the authority concerned refuses or fails to issue the appointment letter, the aggrieved person has a right to seek the remedy through a writ of 'mandamus'.
3. Certiorari
Literally, Certiorari means to be certified. It is issued by the higher court to the lower court either to transfer the case pending with the latter to itself or to squash the order already passed by an inferior court, tribunal or quasi judicial authority. The conditions necessary for the issue of writ of certiorari.
a. There should be court, tribunal or an officer having legal authority to determine the question with a duty to act judicially.
b. Such a court, tribunal or officer must have passed order acting without jurisdiction or in excess of the judicial authority vested by law in such court, tribunal or officer.
c. The order could also be against the principles of natural justice or the order could contain an error of judgment in appreciating the facts of the case.
4. Prohibition
The Writ of prohibition means to forbid or to stop and it is popularly known as 'Stay Order'. This writ is issued when a lower court or a body tries to transgress the limits or powers vested in it. The writ of prohibition is issued by any High Court or the Supreme Court to any inferior court, or quasi judicial body prohibiting the latter from continuing the proceedings in a particular case, where it has no jurisdiction to try. After the issue of this writ, proceedings in the lower court etc. come to a stop.
Difference between Prohibition and Certiorari:
1. While the writ of prohibition is available during the pendency of proceedings, the writ of certiorari can be resorted to only after the order or decision has been announced.
2. Prohibition can be issued only against judicial and quasi judicial authorities whereas Certiorari can be issued even against administrative authorities affecting rights of individuals.
• Quo Warranto
The word Quo-Warranto literally means "by what warrants?" or "what is your authority"? It is a writ issued with a view to restrain a person from holding a public office to which he is not entitled. The writ requires the concerned person to explain to the Court by what authority he holds the office. If a person has usurped a public office, the Court may direct him not to carry out any activities in the office or may announce the office to be vacant. Thus High Court may issue a writ of quo-warranto if a person holds an office beyond his retirement age.

Cabinet nod for ban on child labour below 14
The Union Cabinet on August 28 approved a proposal for amending the Child
Labour (Prohibition and Regulation) Act, 1986, to ban employment of
children aged up to 14 in any form of industry.
It will be an offence to employ such children not only in factories or
industries but also in homes or on farms, if their labour is meant to
serve any commercial interest.
The Ministry of Labour is likely to introduce the amendment bill in Parliament soon.
Quoting the National Sample Survey Organisation’s figures, official
sources said the amendment would benefit 46 lakh children, who have been
working in various industries now, and they can concentrate on
education.
The Cabinet also approved another amendment to define children aged
14-18 as “adolescents” and prohibit their employment in mines,
explosives industries, chemical and paint industries and other hazardous
establishments.
The government’s decision is in line with the convention of the
International Labour Organisation (ILO), which prohibits any form of
child labour until the age of 14.
Since the Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Act or RTE
now stipulates compulsory and free education of children up to the age
of 14, the upper age limit in the Child Labour Act has been kept at 14.
The RTE, which makes education the fundamental right of a child, was
passed by Parliament on August 4, 2009. It sets forth the modalities of
free and compulsory education for children aged 6-14. The Act came into
effect on April 1, 2010.

That is, the notification containing the programme of election to
the office of the President, can be issued by the

The election to the Office of the President, to be held in the next,
will be the fourteenth of its kind. The earlier elections to this office were
held in 1952, 1957, 1962, 1967, 1969, 1974, 1977, 1982, 1987, 1992, 1997, 2002
and 2007.
CONSTITUTIONAL
PROVISIONS:-
The President of India is elected by the Members of an Electoral
College consisting of (a) the elected members of both Houses of Parliament and
(b) the elected members of the Legislative Assemblies of the States [including
National Capital Territory of Delhi and the Union Territory of Puducherry vide the Constitution (Seventieth Amendment)
Act, 1992 (Article 54). The nominated members of either House of Parliament or
the Legislative Assemblies of State are not eligible to be included in the
Electoral College.
Detailed provisions regarding the election are
contained in the Presidential and Vice-Presidential Elections Act, 1952 (No.31
of 1952) and the rules made thereunder, viz., “The
Presidential and Vice-Presidential Elections Rules, 1974”.
The manner of voting in the Presidential Election is contained in
Rule 17 of the Presidential and Vice-Presidential Elections Rules, 1974.
The Constitution (Eighty-fourth Amendment) Act, 2001 provides that
until the relevant population figures for the first census to be taken after
the year 2026 have been published, the population of the States for the
purposes of calculation of value of votes for the Presidential Election shall
mean the population as ascertained at the 1971-census.
Total Value of votes of all members of each State Assembly is worked
out by multiplying the number of elective seats in the Assembly by the number
of votes for each member, for example 294x148=43,512 for Andhra Pradesh. The
total value of votes of all the States added together is divided by the total
number of elected members of Parliament (Lok Sabha 543 + Rajya Sabha 233) to get the value of votes per each Member of
Parliament.
SYSTEM OF PROPORTIONAL
REPRESENTATION BY MEANS OF SINGLE TRANSFERABLE VOTE.
The election shall be held in accordance with the system of
Proportional Representation by means of the single transferable vote and the
voting at such election shall be by secret ballot.
The ballot paper does not contain any election symbol. There will be
two columns in the ballot paper. Column 1 of the ballot paper contains the
heading “Name of Candidate” and column 2 contains the heading “Mark
order of preference”.
VALUE OF VOTES:-
Each Elector shall have as many preferences as there are candidates,
but no ballot paper shall be considered invalid solely on the ground that all
such preferences are not marked.
The value of vote of each elector is pre-determined. For example,
the value of vote of each Member of Parliament is 708. The value of vote of
each Member of the Legislative Assembly of Uttar Pradesh is 208 and that of
Sikkim is 7. Thus the value of votes for the Members of each Legislative
Assembly varies.
QUOTA FOR ELECTION:-
After calculating the total value of votes
polled by each candidate, the Returning Officer totals up the value of all
valid votes polled. The quota for declaring a candidate as elected is
determined by dividing the total value of valid votes by 2 and adding one to
the quotient, ignoring the remainder, if any. For example, assuming the total
value of valid votes polled by all candidates is 1,00,001.
The quota required for getting elected is: -
1,00,001 + 1 = 50,000.50 + 1 (Ignore.50)
2
Quota = 50,000+1 = 50,001
After
ascertaining the quota, the Returning Officer has to see whether any candidate
secured the quota for being declared as elected on the basis of the total value
of first preference votes polled by him/her.
If no
candidate gets the quota on the basis of first preference votes, then the
Returning Officer proceeds further to second round of counting during which the
candidate having lowest value of votes of first preference is excluded and his
votes are distributed among the remaining candidates according to the second
preference marked on these ballot papers. The other continuing candidates
received the votes of excluded candidate at the same value at which he/she
received them in the first round of counting.
The
Returning Officer will go on excluding the candidates with lowest number of
votes in subsequent rounds of counting till either one of the continuing
candidates gets the required quota or till only one candidate remains in the
field as the continuing candidate and shall declare him/her as elected.
ELIGIBILITY FOR ELECTION
No person

(1) is a citizen of India;
(2) has completed the age of 35 years; and
(3) is qualified for election as a member of the House of the
