The Indian Parliament exercises control over the administration through Consultative Committees of various ministries, Parliamentary Committees, and by making administrators send periodic reports. However, it does not directly compel the executive to issue writs. Writs are issued by the judiciary, not the Parliament.

To summarize:

1. Consultative Committees: The Parliament has Consultative Committees for different ministries where MPs can question ministers, provide suggestions, and offer recommendations on policies and administration.

2. Parliamentary Committees: The Parliament has Standing Committees and Ad Hoc Committees that scrutinize bills, review the performance of ministries, conduct inquiries, and make recommendations.

3. Periodic Reports: The Parliament can demand reports from administrators, which provide information on the implementation of policies, utilization of funds, and progress on projects. This allows the Parliament to assess the performance of the administration and hold them accountable.

It`s important to note that the power to issue writs lies with the judiciary, not the Parliament. Writs are legal orders issued by the courts to enforce fundamental rights or to ensure the proper functioning of the legal system.
