ABSTRACT
The Constitution of India is without any doubt the supreme law of India. Part III of the Indian Constitution contains Article 12 - Article 35 that addresses fundamental rights. Particularly, Article 32, or "Right to Constitutional Remedies," is a fundamental right that grants extremely broad authority to petition the Supreme Court for a violation of any fundamental right by the government, institutions, or people. This article takes a critical look at the Right to Constitutional Remedies and how, in Dr. Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar's opinion, it triumphed over other rights to become the most significant fundamental right that someone can possess. He stated that without this Article, "the Constitution will be nullity."
