Article 32 of the Constitution provides the right to approach the Supreme Court directly for enforcement of fundamental rights through writs. This is the provision under which PIL can be filed in the SC. Article 226 (HC writs) is for HC, not SC. Article 21 and 14 are substantive rights, not procedural mechanisms for PIL filing.
