7. Discuss the Constitutional Remedies for the enforcement of
Fundamental Rights.
Article 32 under the Constitution of India – Right To Constitutional Remedies

Article 32 of the Indian Constitution gives the right to individuals to move to the Supreme
Court to seek justice when they feel that their right has been ‘unduly deprived’. The apex
court is given the authority to issue directions or orders for the execution of any of the
rights bestowed by the constitution as it is considered ‘the protector and guarantor of
Fundamental Rights’.

Therefore, we can say that an assured right is guaranteed to individuals for enforcement
of fundamental rights by this article as the law provides the right to an individual to directly
approach the Supreme Court without following a lengthier process of moving to the lower
courts first as the main purpose of Writ Jurisdiction under Article 32 is the enforcement
of Fundamental Rights.

Dr. Ambedkar stated that:

“If I was asked to name any particular article in this Constitution as the most important-
an article without which this Constitution would be a nullity— I could not refer to any
other article except this one. It is the very soul of the Constitution and the very heart of
it and I am glad that the House has realized its importance.”
