Supreme Court
-
B.
High Courts
-
C.
Both A and B
-
D.
District Courts
Correct Answer:
C. Both A and B
Explanation:
In India, the power to issue writs for the enforcement of Fundamental Rights is a shared jurisdiction between the higher judiciary. Under Article 32 of the Constitution, the Supreme Court has the authority to issue writs like Habeas Corpus, Mandamus, Prohibition, Quo Warranto, and Certiorari to protect these rights. Similarly, Article 226 empowers the High Courts to issue these same writs within their respective territorial jurisdictions, not only for Fundamental Rights but also for other legal purposes. Therefore, both the Supreme Court and the High Courts possess this constitutional power, making option C the correct answer.
