Which Article of the Indian Constitution vests the High Courts with the power to issue writs for the enforcement of Fundamental Rights and 'for any other purpose'?

💡 Solution & Explanation

Article 226 of the Constitution of India grants High Courts the authority to issue prerogative writs not only for enforcing Fundamental Rights but also for any other purpose, giving it a broader territorial and substantive scope than Article 32. Article 32 is restricted exclusively to the enforcement of Fundamental Rights and is itself a constitutional remedy. The Supreme Court's writ jurisdiction under Article 32 is a basic feature of the Constitution. High Court writ jurisdiction can be invoked by individuals for ordinary legal rights violation as well.
