Which feature distinguishes Fundamental Rights from ordinary statutory rights in India?
ABoth are equally amenable to repeal by an ordinary law
BFundamental Rights are entrenched in the Constitution and breaches are remediable directly under Article 32 by the Supreme Court
CFundamental Rights are unwritten and discovered case by case
DStatutory rights have higher status than Fundamental Rights
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. Fundamental Rights are entrenched in the Constitution and breaches are remediable directly under Article 32 by the Supreme Court
Article 32 itself is a Fundamental Right — the right to constitutional remedies. The SC can issue writs (habeas corpus, mandamus, prohibition, certiorari, quo warranto) for enforcement. Ordinary statutory rights are vindicated by the relevant civil/criminal forum.
