\nA writ of Quo Warranto is issued by a court to inquire into the legality of the claim of a person to a public office. A necessary condition for issuing this writ is that the office must be a *substantive* public office of a permanent character, created by statute or the Constitution. The office must not be merely ministerial or temporary. Therefore, the statement that “The office must not be a substantive one” is incorrect and is *not* a necessary condition.
