In which situation would a High Court's writ power be directly useful?

Correct answer: Illegal violation of a right by a state official

Answer: A, an illegal violation of a right by a state official. A writ is a formal order issued by a court to protect rights and require a public authority to act according to law or stop an unlawful action. High Courts can use writ jurisdiction when a public authority or state official violates a person’s legal or constitutional rights, subject to the applicable legal conditions. A is correct because it presents the kind of unlawful official action for which judicial protection may be sought. B is a parliamentary legislative activity, not normally a writ situation. C is a political-party activity and does not by itself show a rights violation. D is an ordinary municipal task; it may raise a dispute in some circumstances, but the option as stated does not show an illegal violation requiring a writ. Memory cue: writs are court orders used to enforce rights against unlawful public action.
