How can we secure fundamental rights?

(i) Meaning : Rights are like guarantees and must, therefore, be enforced. As such
under the Constitution, people can approach the Supreme Court or the High Court of a state for the enforcement of their fundamental rights. This is called the Right to Constitutional Remedies. Dr. BR Ambedkar called this right, ‘the heart and soul’ of the Constitution because we can
seek remedy through courts for the violation of our rights.
(ii) When do we approach courts : If any act of the Legislature or Executive takes away or limits any of the Fundamental Rights, we can challenge them in courts. The Supreme Court and High Courts have the power to issue directions or writs for the enforcement of the Fundamental Rights. The courts can issue writs of
habeas-corpus, mandamus, prohibition, quo warranto and certiorari. Thus, these writs enable the citizens to secure their Fundamental Rights.
