The violation of Fundamental Rights could be redressed by the Supreme Court under which of the following Articles?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 32.
The violation of Fundamental Rights can be redressed by the Supreme Court under Article 32 of the Constitution of India. This single article is a fundamental right in itself, empowering individuals to move the Supreme Court directly for the enforcement of their Fundamental Rights.
Under Article 32, the Supreme Court can issue various writs – Habeas Corpus, Mandamus, Prohibition, Certiorari, and Quo Warranto – to provide remedies for infringed rights. Dr. B.R. Ambedkar famously referred to Article 32 as the "heart and soul" of the Constitution due to its crucial role in making Fundamental Rights practically enforceable.
