  • Article 32 provides the right to Constitutional remedies which means that a person has the right to move to Supreme Court (and high courts also) for getting his fundamental rights protected. While the Supreme Court has the power to issue writs under Article 32, High Courts have been given the same powers under Article 226.
  • Mandamus means "a command" which is issued by the court to enforce fundamental rights whenever a public officer or a government representative has committed an act of violating a person’s fundamental rights.
  • Habeas Corpus means “to produce the body”  which is issued to let the court know the grounds of confinement. This protects individual's Liberty.
  • Quo Warranto means "By what authority". It is issued by the court to enquire into the legality of claim which a person asserts to public office. This writ enables the public to see that a public office is not usurped.
  • Certiorari means "to be certified". It is issued to a Lower court after a case has been decided by it, quashing the decision or order by High court or Supreme court. It ensures that the jurisdiction of an inferior Court or Tribunal is properly exercised.
