Nitish Verma v. Union of India- Art.32 Constitution- Service Matters

Constitution of India- Article 32 - Service Matters - Article 32 is not an open highway for every grievance dressed under the garb of a fundamental right violation. It is a sacred constitutional artery to be invoked when the life blood of liberty itself is imperiled, not for routine service matters that find their natural home under Article 226 of the Constitution of India, before the High Courts - A grievance regarding reservation, computation under a recruitment notification cannot be permitted to masquerade as a constitutional crisis. -While this Court stands as the guardian and watchtower of fundamental rights, it must also remind litigants that every knock on the door of Article 32 dilutes it’s sanctity if made without due cause. The constitutional remedy is meant to remain extraordinary, not ornamental, not habitual- Constitutional remedies must not be reduced to procedural shortcuts. The Majesty of Article 32 lies not in its frequency of invocation but in the gravity of the cause that compels it. (Para 3-6)
