Question 5 of 5
Consider the following statements.
- The writ jurisdiction of both the high court and the Supreme Court constitutes a part of the basic structure of the Constitution.
- The writ jurisdiction of the High court is exclusive with respect to the matters under state specific laws.
Which of the above statements is/are incorrect?
CorrectSolution: b)
The Supreme Court can issue writs only for the enforcement of fundamental rights and not for any other purpose, that is, it does not extend to a case where the breach of an ordinary legal right is alleged.
The writ jurisdiction of the high court (under Article 226) is not exclusive but concurrent with the writ jurisdiction of the Supreme Court (under Article 32). It means, when the fundamental rights of a citizen are violated, the aggrieved party has the option of moving either the high court or the Supreme Court directly.
This is valid for both centre/state laws/rules/regulations.
In the Chandra Kumar case (1997), the Supreme Court ruled that the writ jurisdiction of both the high court and the Supreme Court constitute a part of the basic structure of the Constitution. Hence, it cannot be ousted or excluded even by way of an amendment to the Constitution.
