Regarding the writ jurisdictions of the Supreme Court under Article 32 and the High Courts under Article 226, which of the following statements is correct?

Question

Accepted Answer

Article 32 is an constitutional remedy and a Fundamental Right in itself, making the Supreme Court a guarantor of rights; hence it cannot refuse a petition. Conversely, Article 226 is a constitutional right but not a Fundamental Right, rendering the High Court's remedy discretionary. However, the High Court's jurisdiction is broader in scope as it can issue writs for both Fundamental Rights and ordinary legal rights, whereas the Supreme Court can only issue them for Fundamental Rights.
