• A. 1, 2 and 3 only
• B. 2 only
• C. 1 and 2 only
• D. 1 only

Answer 1

The correct option is B 2 only

Explanation:

Writs are a written order from the Court that commands constitutional remedies for Indian Citizens against the violation of their rights. Article 32 in the Indian Constitution deals with constitutional remedies that an Indian citizen can seek from the Supreme Court and High Court against the violation of his/her fundamental rights. The same article gives the Supreme Court power to issue writs for the enforcement of rights whereas the High Court has the same power under Article 226.

Statement 1 is incorrect: The Supreme court can issue writs only for the enforcement of fundamental rights.

Statement 2 is correct: High court can issue writ not only for the enforcement of Fundamental rights but also for the other legal Rights. It means the writ jurisdiction of the High court is wider than the supreme Court.

Statement 3 is incorrect: The Constitution has conferred the power to issue writ only to the Supreme court and High court.
