      Solution

      Mandamus (a Latin word, which means ‘‘We Command’’) is a writ order from the Supreme Court or High Court to a lower court or tribunal or public authority to perform a public or statutory duty. It is issued when any government, court, corporation or any public authority has to do a public duty but fails to do so.
