Which of the following articles of the Indian Constitution is related to the writ of the High Courts?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 4 i.e. 226.

  • Article 226 of the Indian Constitution empowers High Courts to issue writs for the enforcement of fundamental rights and for any other legal purpose.

  • This makes High Courts more flexible than the Supreme Court, which can issue writs only for the enforcement of fundamental rights under Article 32.

  • Under Article 226, High Courts can issue writs like Habeas Corpus, Mandamus, Prohibition, Certiorari, and Quo Warranto.

  • It plays a crucial role in judicial review and protection of individual rights at the state level.

Explanation of Other Options:

  • Article 32 empowers only the Supreme Court to issue writs for fundamental rights.

  • Article 124 deals with the establishment and jurisdiction of the Supreme Court, not writs.

  • Article 368 concerns the amendment procedure of the Constitution.
