Question

Which one of the following comes under the jurisdiction of both the High Court and the Supreme Court?

• A. Disputes between the Centre and the States
• B. Disputes between the states
• C. Protection of the Fundamental Rights
• D. Protection against the violation of the Constitution

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Protection of the Fundamental Rights

The Supreme Court under Article 32 and the High courts under Article 226 are authorised to issue writs for the enforcement of Fundamental rights. This implies that the Constitution has given the right to the citizens to move to any court on the violation of Fundamental Right for enforcement. However, the High court can issue writs for the enforcement of legal rights also.
