B. Article 226

D. Article 142
💡 Solution & Explanation
Article 32 empowers the Supreme Court to issue prerogative writs for the enforcement of Fundamental Rights, famously described by Dr. B.R. Ambedkar as the heart and soul of the Constitution. While Article 226 grants similar writ jurisdiction to High Courts, Article 136 deals with special leave petitions. The Supreme Court's writ jurisdiction is original but not exclusive.
