While both Articles 32 and 226 empower courts to issue writs, Article 32 is a ______ Right whereas Article 226 is a constitutional power.
- Legal
- Constitutional
- Fundamental
- Natural
Answer: Fundamental
Key distinction: Article 32 is itself a Fundamental Right (Part III), making access to SC for FR enforcement a guaranteed right. Article 226 is a constitutional power (Part V) of High Courts, not a fundamental right. Thus, Parliament cannot curtail Article 32 by ordinary law, while Article 226 jurisdiction can be regulated by law (subject to basic structure).
