what is article 32 of indian constitution

Article 32 of the Indian Constitution gives the right to move the Supreme Court by appropriate proceedings for the enforcement of the rights conferred by Part III of the Constitution. It is considered the most important Article in the Indian Constitution as it is the guarantor and the defender of Fundamental Rights. This Article provides for the enforcement of fundamental rights, which is the most potent weapon. Any person whose fundamental right has been violated may file a writ petition under Article 32. The five types of writs that can be filed under Article 32 are habeas corpus, mandamus, quo warranto, certiorari, and prohibition. The Supreme Court is made the protector and guarantor of fundamental rights and is provided with power and controls to provide remedies if these rights are violated. Article 32 cannot be amended as it is a part of the basic structure of the Constitution.
