?Which word?

Do not confuse prohibition (only stops a lower court from going beyond its powers in a pending case) and certiorari (can also cancel an order that the lower court has already passed).

Prohibition (केवल लंबित मामले में निचली अदालत को अपने अधिकार से आगे जाने से रोकता है) और certiorari (निचली अदालत द्वारा पहले से पारित आदेश को रद्द भी कर सकता है) में भ्रमित न हों।
