    Question

    The Writ Jurisdiction of High Court is wider than Writ

    Jurisdiction of Supreme Court. Examine the correct answer.
    A Yes. Article 226 can be invoked to establish fundamental rights and any other right. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B No. Article 32 is wider. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Both jurisdictions are identical. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D None of the above option. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Articles 226 vests the High Courts with the power to issue writs in case of both - legal and fundamental rights. However, despite being the apex court, the Supreme Court only issues writs in cases related to fundamental rights. Hence, the writ jurisdiction of the High Courts is greater than that of the Supreme Court.
