Which Fundamental Right gives a citizen the legal authority to approach the court for justice if any of their other Fundamental Rights are violated?
Right to Information Act
The Right to Constitutional Remedies, guaranteed under Article 32 of the Indian Constitution, allows a citizen to directly approach the Supreme Court (and under Article 226, the High Courts) when any of their Fundamental Rights is violated.
Dr. B. R. Ambedkar called this right the "heart and soul" of the Constitution because it makes all other Fundamental Rights enforceable through writs such as habeas corpus, mandamus, and certiorari.
Cultural and Educational Rights protect minority interests, the Right to Information Act is an ordinary statute (not a Fundamental Right), and there is no Fundamental Right specifically to "promote public health," so none of these serve the enforcement function described.
Therefore, the correct answer is the Right to Constitutional Remedies.
