Which of the following correctly describes the nature of a writ petition under Article 32 of the Constitution of India?

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer C

The Supreme Court has held that "An original petition for writ under Article 32 cannot take the place of appeal against the order passed by a High Court in a petition under Article 226."; such an order must instead be challenged by way of appeal. Accordingly, it is not open to an aggrieved person to approach the Supreme Court on the same facts under Article 32 in every case, so "All of the given options are correct." cannot be accepted.
