Assertion (A): The Fundamental Rights are enforceable only against the State.
Reason (R): Article 32 gives a person whose Fundamental Rights have been violated the right to move the Supreme Court for their enforcement.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → A is false but R is true.
Assertion (A): The Fundamental Rights are enforceable only against the State. Incorrect. Most Fundamental Rights protect a person against the State, but some apply against private persons as well, such as the abolition of untouchability (Article 17), the ban on forced labour (Article 23) and the ban on child labour in factories and mines (Article 24).
Reason (R): Article 32 gives a person whose Fundamental Rights have been violated the right to move the Supreme Court for their enforcement. Correct. Article 32, the right to constitutional remedies, lets a person move the Supreme Court directly, and the Court can issue writs such as habeas corpus and mandamus to enforce the right.
