Understanding the Expanding Scope of Article 32 in Modern Indian Constitutional Jurisprudence

Article 32 of the Constitution of India has long been regarded as the heart and soul of the Constitution. It provides citizens with the right to directly approach the Supreme Court for enforcement of fundamental rights.

Over time, judicial interpretation has expanded its scope, particularly in the context of public interest litigation, constitutional remedies, and evolving standards of judicial review.

The contemporary jurisprudence surrounding Article 32 reflects a delicate balance between judicial activism and institutional restraint, especially in matters involving separation of powers.
