RAGHAV

Writ of certiorari is a corrective remedy whereby it investigates and decides the legality of the orders passed by interior courts.  It is an order to the lower court to transmit the records of a case or matter pending before it so that it is decided the Superior Court.  If an order is a violation of natural justice or without jurisdiction, then it will be quashed by an order of certiorari.  This writ is issued by superior court in the exercise of its supervisory functions and NOT in the exercise of its appellate function.

The second line is to be read as "inferior courts" and not as interior courts.
