As per the Constitution of India, the Writ of Prohibition is a preventive remedy issued by a higher court to an inferior court or quasi-judicial body [3]. Its primary purpose is to forbid or stop these authorities from continuing proceedings when they act in excess of their jurisdiction or without jurisdiction [4]. Statement 1 is correct as it is specifically issued against judicial and quasi-judicial authorities [3]. Statement 2 is correct because it prohibits an inferior court from proceeding in cases where it lacks the legal authority to try the matter [1]. Statement 3 is incorrect because the writ intended to restrain a person from holding a public office to which they are not entitled is the Writ of Quo Warranto, not Prohibition [1]. Therefore, only statements 1 and 2 are accurate descriptions of the Writ of Prohibition.
