Question

Name the writ issued by the Supreme Court when a public servant has failed to perform a duty

Answer 1

Explanation:

Mandamus is an order from a superior court to a lower court or tribunal or public authority to perform an act, which falls within its duty. ... If a public authority fails to do what is required under law or does beyond what was to be done, a writ of mandamus may be issued to make him do what was required under law.
