Which writ is issued by a higher court to a lower court or tribunal to transfer a pending case to itself or quash its order?
- Habeas Corpus

Answer: Certiorari
Certiorari ('to be certified') is issued by a higher court to a lower court/tribunal to quash its order when it exceeds jurisdiction or violates principles of natural justice. Prohibition is preventive (issued before order), while Certiorari is curative (issued after order). Both available under Articles 32 & 226.
