Explanation:

Writs are special orders issued by courts to enforce fundamental rights or legal duties. In India:

Supreme Court (Article 32 of the Constitution)

• Has the power to issue writs for the enforcement of Fundamental Rights.
• Article 32 is known as the "Right to Constitutional Remedies."

High Courts (Article 226 of the Constitution)

• Can issue writs not only for Fundamental Rights but also for other legal rights.
• This gives High Courts wider powers than the Supreme Court in issuing writs.

Types of Writs:

1. Habeas Corpus – To release a person from unlawful detention.
2. Mandamus – To direct a public official to perform a duty.
3. Prohibition – To stop a lower court from exceeding its jurisdiction.
4. Certiorari – To transfer a case from a lower court to a higher court.
5. Quo Warranto – To question the legal authority of a person holding a public office.

Thus, both the Supreme Court and High Courts can issue writs, making option (D) the correct answer.
