writ of prohibition
A writ of prohibition is a legal order issued by a higher court to a lower court or a public authority, instructing them to stop or prohibit an action or process that is outside their jurisdiction or violates the principles of justice. It is used to prevent potential abuses of judicial power or actions that could cause irreparable harm. It differs from a writ of mandamus in that it stops an action, while a writ of mandamus orders an action to be taken.
