Answer 1

The correct answer is Jus soli

Key Points

Jus soli is a term that refers to the right of anyone born in the territory of a state to nationality or citizenship, which is not a writ issued by the Supreme Court of India.
The writs issued by the Supreme Court of India include Habeas Corpus, Mandamus, Prohibition, Quo Warranto, and Certiorari.
The writ of Habeas Corpus is used to secure the release of a person who has been unlawfully detained.
The writ of Prohibition is issued by a higher court to a lower court to prevent it from exceeding its jurisdiction.
The writ of Quo Warranto is used to challenge the legality of a person's claim to a public office.

Additional Information

The writ of Mandamus is issued by the court to compel a public authority to perform its duty.
The writ of Certiorari is issued by a higher court to a lower court to transfer a case for review.
These writs are a part of the judicial review mechanism in India to ensure the protection of fundamental rights.
The power to issue these writs is vested in the Supreme Court under Article 32 and in the High Courts under Article 226 of the Constitution of India.
These writs are essential tools to maintain the rule of law and to ensure that public authorities act within their legal bounds.
