Answer and explanation
Correct answer: C - a court order to do or refrain from an act
An injunction is an order of a court directing a party to do a particular act or restraining it from doing or continuing an act. Under Part III of the Specific Relief Act, 1963 (sections 36 to 42), preventive relief is granted at the court's discretion by temporary or perpetual injunction, and section 39 provides for mandatory injunctions. It is not a writ, which issues under Articles 32 and 226, nor an administrative order or a penal legislative rule.
