- Dr. B. R. Ambedkar, the chief architect of the Indian Constitution, famously remarked that Article 32 was the "heart and soul" of the Constitution. - Article 32 deals with the "Right to Constitutional Remedies". It guarantees the right to move the Supreme Court for the enforcement of the Fundamental Rights. It empowers the Supreme Court (and High Courts under Article 226) to issue writs (habeas corpus, mandamus, prohibition, quo warranto, and certiorari) for the enforcement of these rights. - Ambedkar's statement highlighted the significance of this Article because it makes the other Fundamental Rights meaningful and effective. Without a remedy for their enforcement, Fundamental Rights would be mere declarations without teeth. Article 32 provides the mechanism to safeguard these rights.
