Explanation:

Prohibition and Certiorari are issued when the lower court is found to overstep its jurisdiction.

The writ of prohibition means that the Supreme Court and High Courts may prohibit the lower courts such as special tribunals, magistrates, commissions, and other judiciary officers who are doing something which exceeds to their jurisdiction or acting contrary to the rule of natural justice.

The writ of Certiorari orders to move a suit from an inferior court to superior court. This is generally done because superior court believes that either the inferior court had no jurisdiction or committed an error of law.

While prohibition is available during the pendency of the proceedings and before the order is made, certiorari can be issued only after the order has been made.
