(2) The Supreme Court shall have power to issue directions or orders or writs.
Writs are coomands issued by the Supreme Court or High Court to any court or authority who acts in contravention of Fundamental Rights.
The writs which could be issued under this section are habeas corpus, mandamus, prohibition, quo warranto and certiorari, whichever may be appropriate, for the enforcement of any of the rights conferred by this Part

(3) Without prejudice to the powers conferred on the Supreme Court, the Parliament may by law empower any other court to exercise within the local limits of its jurisdiction all or any of the powers exercisable by the Supreme Court.
