6.25.6. Importance of Article 32

Mere declaration of the fundamental right is meaningless until and unless there is an effective machinery for enforcement of the fundamental rights. So, a right without a remedy is a worthless declaration. The framers of our constitution adopted the special provisions in the article 32 which provide remedies to the violated fundamental rights of a citizen. SC in IR Coehlo case (2007), mentioned that Article 32 is integral part of the basic structure. This article also established SC as the guardian of Fundamental Rights. It also shows the SC’s powers of judicial review. According to Dr. Ambedkar, this Article is the soul of part-III.
