What is Right To Constitutional Remedies?
The Right to Constitutional Remedies is a fundamental right guaranteed under Article 32 of the Indian Constitution. This right empowers citizens to seek justice and protection of their rights through the Indian courts. It is considered to be an important aspect of the Indian constitutional framework and is considered to be one of the most powerful legal remedies available to citizens. It gives citizens the right to approach the Supreme Court or High Court directly, in the event of a violation of their fundamental rights, and seek remedy in the form of writs such as habeas corpus, mandamus, prohibition, quo warranto, and certiorari.
