Answer and explanation
Correct answer C
In Vineet Narain & Others v. Union of India (1997, the Jain Hawala Case), the Supreme Court of India innovated the procedural remedy of 'continuing mandamus', whereby instead of disposing of a public interest writ petition with a final judgment, the Court keeps the petition pending and issues periodic directions to monitor the investigation by agencies like the CBI and Enforcement Directorate.
