Right to Constitutional Remedies (Article 32)

Subject: Polity

Book: Indian Polity by M. Laxmikanth

Termed the “heart and soul” of the Constitution by Dr. Ambedkar, Article 32 empowers citizens to directly approach the Supreme Court for enforcement of fundamental rights. The Court can issue writs like habeas corpus, mandamus, prohibition, certiorari, and quo warranto. It ensures that fundamental rights are not merely theoretical but upheld through a swift judicial process. This article cements the rule of law by placing a check on state authority and providing an accessible remedy to individuals. Without Article 32, the protective shield of Part III would be incomplete, as it breathes life into the enforceability of rights.
