  1. Question 1 · Assertion and Reason Practice Set 1

    Assertion (A): A High Court may issue a writ under Article 226 even where no Fundamental Right of the petitioner is involved. Reason (R): Article 226(1) empowers a High Court to issue directions, orders or writs for the enforcement of any of the rights conferred by Part III and for any other purpose.

    1. A. Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A
    2. B. Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A
    3. C. A is true, but R is false
    4. D. A is false, but R is true
    Show the answer

    A. Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A

    The words 'and for any other purpose' in Article 226(1) allow a High Court to issue writs to enforce legal rights that are not Fundamental Rights, for example a statutory right. That is exactly why the Assertion is true, so R explains A.
