A Writ of Prohibition is an order issued by the Supreme Court or High Courts to:

 (a). a government officer prohibiting him from taking a particular action.

 (b). the Parliament/Legislative Assembly to pass a law on Prohibition.

 (c). the lower court prohibiting continuation of proceedings in a case.

 (d). the Government prohibiting it from following an unconstitutional policy.


Explanation: 


Option (a): A Writ of Prohibition is not directed at a single government officer, but rather a court exceeding its jurisdiction.

Option (b): Writ of Prohibition doesn't tell the legislature what to do, it prevents courts from acting beyond their authority.

Option (c): The lower court prohibiting continuation of proceedings in a case.

Option (d): While a Writ can challenge the legality of a policy, it's not directed at the government itself, but the court overseeing its implementation.

The correct answer is (c).
