Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Any dispute regarding the violation of Fundamental Rights can be presented. The judiciary has been vested with responsibility to act as guardian of these rights. The right to move the Supreme Court for the enforcement of Fundamental Rights is itself a guaranteed right as provided for in Article 32 of the Constitution. Thus, whenever, the State or any authority or any person encroaches upon the rights of a person, the latter can move the Supreme Court or High Courts. These courts are empowered to issue directions and orders or writs for the enforcement of Fundamental Rights.
