Quo Warranto is a legal term that refers to a type of writ or legal action used to challenge an individual's right to hold a public office or exercise authority. It questions the legitimacy of a person's claim to a position, asking "by what authority" they are acting. This action can be initiated by the government or an interested party to ensure that only those legally entitled to a position can perform its duties. The Quo Warranto process typically involves a court hearing where evidence is presented. If the court finds that the individual does not have the proper authority, it can remove them from office or prevent them from exercising their powers. This legal remedy helps maintain the integrity of public offices and ensures accountability.
