Explanation:

The writ lies only in respect of a public office of a substantial character. The motive of appointing an officer in making the appointment in question is irrelevant in a Quo Warranto petition.
This writ cannot be issued against the appointment of a council of ministers, chief ministers, and governors. neither can it question the authority of private institutions to hold an office of a private character.
