Question

This right empowers citizens to move to a court of law in case of any denial of fundamental rights. Dr Ambedkar referred to this right as ‘the heart and soul’ of our Constitution. Which of the following rights is being discussed here?

• B. Right to constitutional remedies
• C. Right to equality
• D. Right to freedom

Answer 1

The correct option is B Right to constitutional remedies

The Constitution of India provides many fundamental rights. But, they will be of no use if it is not enforced. The right to constitutional remedies empowers citizens to move to a court of law in case of any denial of fundamental rights. Therefore, it is the most crucial right among those guaranteed by the Constitution. If the government violates a fundamental right, the Supreme Court or High Court can deliver justice and order payment of compensation.
