The right to Constitutional remedies in India is available to :

A: Citizens of India only
B: All persons, in case of infringement of any Fundamental Right
C: All people, for enforcing any of the Fundamental Rights, conferred on them.
D: An aggrieved individual alone.

The answer is: C

Explanation

The correct option is: C: All people, for enforcing any of the Fundamental Rights, conferred on them.

Explanation:

The right to Constitutional remedies in India is enshrined in Article 32 of the Indian Constitution. This article provides the right to move to the Supreme Court of India for the enforcement of Fundamental Rights. While Article 32 explicitly mentions the right to move the Supreme Court, Article 226 provides a similar power to the High Courts for the enforcement of Fundamental Rights.

The term "all people" is used broadly to include not only citizens but also non-citizens or foreigners residing in India. This ensures that anyone whose Fundamental Rights are violated can approach the appropriate court for redressal. Therefore, the correct understanding is that the right to Constitutional remedies is available to all people, irrespective of their citizenship, for enforcing any of the Fundamental Rights conferred on them by the Indian Constitution.
