Explanation

Writ jurisdiction of Article 32 and 226 is suspended during emergency under Articles 359 and 358. MISA (Maintenance of Internal Security Act) and NSA (National Security Act) explicitly exclude writ jurisdiction. ESMA also has similar restrictions during certain conditions. Thus, writ jurisdiction is not available against MISA and NSA.
