Writ of Mandamus

A Writ of Mandamus is a court order that directs a government official or agency to perform a duty they are legally required to do. It is used when someone believes an official has failed to fulfill their official responsibilities, and other legal remedies are insufficient. Essentially, it's a way for the court to ensure that public authorities carry out their duties fairly and in accordance with the law. This writ helps maintain accountability and proper functioning of government by ensuring officials act within their legal authority.
