If a citizen's remedies of appeal and second appeal under the Right to Information Act are exhausted, they can approach the Supreme Court under Article ............... of the Constitution.

Correct option is B

The correct answer is (b) Article 32
Explanation:

. Article 32 of the Constitution confers the Right to Constitutional Remedies, allowing citizens to move the Supreme Court for the enforcement of Fundamental Rights.

. Since the Right to Information has been interpreted by the judiciary as a derivative of the Fundamental Right to Speech and Expression (Article 19), citizens can approach the SC under this article.

. If administrative remedies (First Appeal to senior officer and Second Appeal to the Information Commission) are exhausted, a Writ Petition can be filed.

. Under Article 32, the Supreme Court has the power to issue directions, orders, or writs like Habeas Corpus, Mandamus, Prohibition, Quo Warranto, and Certiorari.

. Dr. B.R. Ambedkar called Article 32 the "Heart and Soul of the Constitution".

. Citizens can also approach the High Court for similar remedies under Article 226, which has a broader scope than Article 32.
