23. RIGHT TO CONSTITUTIONAL REMEDIES (article 32-35)
Mere declaration of fundamental rights is meaningless until and unless there is a machinery for its enforcement.
Article 32 which was referred to “as the very soul of the constitution” by Dr. Ambedkar, provides for constitutional remedies.
This right empowers the citizens to move a court of law in case of any denial of the fundamental rights.
The Supreme Court shall have the power to issue directions or order or writs for the enforcement of any of the rights conferred by fundamental rights.

24. Right to constitutional remedies,Article-32
Article-31(1), provides that a citizen can approach the supreme court of India by due process of law for the implementation of the Fundamental Rights included in Chapter 3 of the constitution.
Article-32(2), the Supreme court of India has the right to issue writs in the nature of the
Habeas Corpus: A writ of habeas corpus (literally to "produce the body") is a court order to a person (prison warden) or agency (institution) holding someone in custody to deliver the imprisoned individual to the court issuing the order with in 24 hrs of his arrest.
Mandamus: A (writ of) mandamus is an order from a court to an inferior government official ordering the government official to properly fulfill their official duties or correct an abuse of discretion.
Prohibition :
Certiorari:
Quo warranto:
Article-32(3), The Indian Parliament can empower any court to issue notice within its jurisdiction without infringing or influencing the powers of the Supreme Court of India.
Article-32(4), the state cannot suspend the right to constitutional remedies except in cases provided in the Indian Constitution.

25. Habeas Corpus:
Habeas Corpus literally means ‘to have the body of’. Via this writ, the court can cause any person who has been detained or imprisoned to be physically brought before the court. The court then examines the reason of his detention and if there is no legal justification of his detention, he can be set free. Such a writ can be issued in following example cases:
When the person is detained and not produced before the magistrate within 24 hours
When the person is arrested without any violation of a law. When a person is arrested under a law which is unconstitutional
When detention is done to harm the person or is malafide.
Thus, Habeas corpus writ is called bulwark of individual liberty against arbitrary detention. A general rule of filing the petition is that a person whose right has been infringed must file a petition.
But Habeas corpus is an exception and anybody on behalf of the detainee can file a petition. Habeas corpus writ is applicable to preventive detention also. This writ can be issued against both public authorities as well as individuals.

26. Mandamus:
Mandamus means “we command”.  This writ is a command issued by court to a public official, public body, corporation, inferior court, tribunal or government asking them to perform their duties which they have refused to perform. Due to this, Mandamus is called a “wakening call” and it awakes the sleeping authorities to perform their duty. Mandamus thus demands an activity and sets the authority in action.
Mandamus cannot be issued against the following:
a private individual or private body. if the duty in question is discretionary and not mandatory.
against president or governors of state against a working chief justice to enforce some kind of private contract.
A petition for writ of mandamus can be filed by any person who seeks a legal duty to be performed by a person or a body.

27. Prohibition: Difference between Mandamus and Prohibition
The writ of ‘prohibition’ means that the Supreme Court and High Courts may prohibit the lower courts such as special tribunals, magistrates, commissions, and other judiciary officers who are doing something which exceeds to their jurisdiction or acting contrary to the rule of natural justice.
For example if a judicial officer has personal interest in a case, it may hamper the decision and the course of natural justice.
Difference between Mandamus and Prohibition
While Mandamus directs activity, Prohibition directs inactivity.
While Mandamus can be issued against any public official, public body, corporation, inferior court, tribunal or government;
prohibition can be issued only against judicial and quasi-judicial authorities and NOT against administrative authorities, legislative bodies

28. Certiorari:
Certiorari means to “certify”. It’s a writ that orders to move a suit from an inferior court to superior court. It is issued by a higher court to a lower court or tribunal either to transfer a case pending with that to itself or squash its order. This is generally done because superior court believes that either the inferior court had no jurisdiction or committed an error of law. Thus, certiorari is a kind of curative writ

29. Quo warranto:
Quo warranto means “by what warrant”? This writ is issued to enquire into legality of the claim of a person or public office. It restrains the person or authority to act in an office which he / she is not entitled to; and thus stops usurpation of public office by anyone. This writ is applicable to the public offices only and not to private offices.
