Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. Article 226.
Article 226 of the Indian Constitution has a similar provision to Article 32, both dealing with writ jurisdiction. While Article 32 empowers individuals to approach the Supreme Court for the enforcement of fundamental rights through various writs, Article 226 allows individuals to seek similar remedies from the High Courts for the enforcement of their legal rights. Article 226 grants High Courts the authority to issue writs, including habeas corpus, mandamus, prohibition, certiorari, and quo warranto, ensuring that citizens can seek judicial relief against arbitrary actions by the state and other authorities, thereby upholding justice and rule of law.
