Statement D is not correct. The Supreme Court, as the guardian of fundamental rights, can indeed exercise its jurisdiction suo motu (on its own initiative) or on the basis of Public Interest Litigation (PIL) to enforce fundamental rights. This pro-active stance is a well-established part of Indian judicial practice, particularly in matters concerning fundamental rights.<\/section>\n
The Supreme Court has wide powers under Article 32 to issue writs for the enforcement of fundamental rights. This power extends to taking up matters suo motu or based on PILs filed by concerned citizens or groups, expanding access to justice for the protection of fundamental rights.<\/section>\n
Statement A is correct because Fundamental Rights are limitations on the power of both the Executive and the Legislature (Article 13). Statement B is correct as the Supreme Court uses judicial review under Article 32 to strike down arbitrary actions of the state that violate fundamental rights. Statement C is correct as the Supreme Court has held that certain fundamental rights (like those against untouchability or bonded labour) can be enforced even against private individuals, and in some cases, private bodies performing public functions can fall within the definition of ‘State’ under Article 12.<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
