Consider the constitutional interplay between Article 32 and Article 226 regarding writ jurisdictions: 1. The Supreme Court under Article 32 can issue writs solely for enforcing Fundamental Rights, whereas High Courts under Article 226 can issue writs for fundamental rights as well as for any other legal purpose. 2. A citizen must exhaust statutory remedies in High Courts before approaching the Supreme Court under Article 32 for a violation of Fundamental Rights.
A. 1 only✓ Correct Answer
B. 2 only
C. Both 1 and 2
D. Neither 1 nor 2
💡 Solution & Explanation
Article 32 is itself a fundamental right restricted to enforcing Part III provisions, whereas Article 226 grants High Courts a wider territorial and substantive scope including other legal purposes. Statement two is incorrect because Article 32 is a guaranteed constitutional remedy, allowing a petitioner to approach the Supreme Court directly without exhausting lower remedies. Article 226 is discretionary.
