The constitution of India promises it's citizens and in some cases every individual some basic rights which are based on the bill of rights which is also known as Magna Carta ( result of French revolution) . These rights can be found in part 3 of the constitution staurting from article 14 , which is right to equality. These are also called fundamental rights , some examples are right to life, right to move freely across thej territory of India, right to practice and profess any religion, right of free speech and expression, recently added right to privacy under article 21 among others.

If any of these rights are violated , one has the right to enforce such rights through writs, in the Supreme Court or the High court. There are five writs or constitutional remedies i.e

Habeas Corpus

Mandamus

Certiorari

Quo Warranto

Prohibition

A writ application can be filed in the Supreme Court under article 32 and in the High court under article 226&227.

Although fundamental rights are not absolute and come with reasonable restrictions.
