Under Article 226 of the Indian Constitution, a High Court can issue writs to protect fundamental rights.

Explanation:

Article 226 delegated to the High Courts of all states the authority to implement basic rights as well as other constitutional rights. This indicates that a High Court’s authority under Article 226 is greater than the Supreme Court’s authority under Article 32 and that if an administrative action does not affect a Fundamental Right, it can only be challenged in the High Court under Article 226. The High Court’s powers under Article 226 are optional.
