Legal Information
Below is a comprehensive legal analysis based on Indian law for your question.
Article 32 of the Constitution gives every citizen the right to move the Supreme Court directly for enforcement of fundamental rights, while Article 226 empowers High Courts to issue writs not only for fundamental rights but also for any other legal right. A writ of habeas corpus, mandamus, certiorari, prohibition, or quo warranto can be filed. There is no court-fee for a writ under Article 32, but a writ under Article 226 generally requires a court-fee. The petition must show a clear violation of a constitutional or legal right.
