Cevap

The correct matches are: Writ of Quo-Warranto matches with the inquiry into the legality of a person's claim to a public office; Writ of Certiorari matches with quashing an order passed in excess of jurisdiction; Relaxation of Locus Standi matches with formalization in S.P. Gupta v. Union of India (1981); and Curative Petition matches with evolution in Rupa Ashok Hurra v. Ashok Hurra (2002).
The matching correctly pairs each judicial instrument with its foundational definition or landmark legal source. Quo-Warranto scrutinizes public office holdings, Certiorari quashes jurisdictional excesses, PIL locus standi relaxation originates from the landmark S.P. Gupta case, and Curative Petitions stem from Rupa Ashok Hurra v. Ashok Hurra.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the nature of the Writ of Quo-Warranto.
Quo-Warranto directly tests the legal title of a person occupying a substantive public office, matching the description of inquiring into the claim to a public office.
It prevents unauthorized occupation of public positions.
2
Analyze the nature and function of the Writ of Certiorari.
Certiorari is issued against judicial/quasi-judicial bodies to quash existing illegal orders, matching the quashing of orders issued in excess of jurisdiction.
Unlike prohibition (which stops pending proceedings), certiorari quashes completed decisions.
3
Examine the origin of Public Interest Litigation (PIL) and locus standi expansion.
The traditional rule of locus standi was expanded in S.P. Gupta v. Union of India (1981) to allow third parties to litigate for public injury.
This case laid the foundational jurisprudential framework for PIL in India.
4
Identify the origin and principle behind Curative Petitions.
Curative Petitions were created in Rupa Ashok Hurra v. Ashok Hurra (2002) as a rare remedy following the dismissal of a review petition under Article 137.
It ensures complete justice under Article 142 while maintaining finality of judgments.
