Mandamus cannot be issued in contradiction with statutory provisions. Pls make it more clear with the example & case law on it. It has been also said that any provision is there any writ mention under artilce 32 of the indian consitution cannot be applied.
With the suitable example.
Thanks.

I think you must be a student.
in fact no writ can be issued in violation of the legal provisions.
one can not force a govt. authority to do an act which is illegal.
study the writs carefully,you will get good interpretation.
