The correct answer is High Court.

Key Points

  • High Courts have the jurisdiction to issue orders for the enforcement of both fundamental rights and common law rights.
  • Article 226 of the Indian Constitution empowers High Courts to issue certain writs for the enforcement of rights.
  • Wider reach than Supreme Court under Article 32, as High Courts can address issues beyond fundamental rights.
  • Essential for upholding justice and legality at a state level, ensuring accessibility to legal remedies for individuals.

None of these This option is incorrect as the High Court indeed has the power to issue orders for common law rights.
