Any case regarding the violation of the fundamental rights of a citizen goes to High Court straight because:
This power has been granted by the Constitution
Correct AnswerIt is difficult to decide such cases in the lower courts
Incorrect AnswerSubordinate courts may not be able to give impartial judgement
Incorrect AnswerQuick decision can be obtained from the High Court
Incorrect AnswerExplanation:
The Constitution empowers the Supreme Court and High Court with the duty to safeguard the Fundamental Rights of the citizens. The Supreme Court under Article 32 and High Court under Article 226 of the Constitution can issue Writs for the protection of Fundamental Rights. Any Person whose Fundamental Rights are violated can approach either of the courts. Although the Constitution also empowers the Parliament to extend this power of Supreme Court and High Court to any other Court or tribunal by making law in this regard. Hence option 1st is correct.
