B Correct answer
Explanation

The rule of res judicata (avoiding relitigation of settled matters) generally applies to Article 32 petitions. However, habeas corpus petitions are exempt from this rule because personal liberty is at stake - courts can rehear habeas corpus matters even if previously decided, especially in continued detention cases. The other writs (quo warranto, certiorari, prohibition) follow res judicata.
