Explanation

Under Articles 32 and 226 of the Indian Constitution, the Supreme Court and High Courts respectively can issue five types of writs for enforcing Fundamental Rights: habeas corpus, mandamus, prohibition, quo warranto, and certiorari. District Courts, Human Rights Commission, and DGPs do not have constitutional writ jurisdiction. This remedy makes fundamental rights justiciable.
