“"Furthermore, mandamus is not a writ of right; it is granted or denied in the Court's discretion. Ex parte Dunlap , 260 Ala. 52 , 68 So.2d 533 (1953). It is a drastic and extraordinary writ to be issued only where there is (1) a clear legal right in the petitioner to the order sought; (2) an imperative duty upon the respondent to perform, accompanied by a refusal to do so; (3) the lack of another adequate remedy; and (4) properly invoked jurisdiction of the court.
