Explanation

Article 32 of the Constitution is called the 'heart and soul of the Constitution' by Dr. Ambedkar. It empowers the Supreme Court to issue five types of writs (habeas corpus, mandamus, prohibition, quo warranto, and certiorari) for the enforcement of fundamental rights. While High Courts can issue writs under Article 226, Article 32 is specifically for the Supreme Court.
