Question 72

Which is the guardian of Fundamental Rights?

In India, the Supreme Court is the guardian of Fundamental Rights. These rights are essential freedoms and protections guaranteed to all citizens by the Constitution. The Supreme Court ensures that these rights are upheld and can intervene if they are violated. For example, it has the authority to issue writs—legal orders like habeas corpus, mandamus, prohibition, certiorari, and quo warranto—to enforce Fundamental Rights. This power is outlined in Article 32 of the Indian Constitution.
