The only difference between Mandamus and Quo warranto is,
The meaning of Mandamus is ""to command"" whereas the meaning of Quo Warranto is ""what is your authority"".
Mandamus is issued when the need to perform a public duty.
This can be issued by Supreme or high or district court.
Quo Warranto is issued when a public/unknown property is occupied by a single person and it can be issued by any court.
