Explanation

Statement 1 is correct because Article 32 is specifically designed for the enforcement of Fundamental Rights guaranteed under Part III of the Constitution [1]. The Supreme Court's writ jurisdiction under Article 32 is restricted to these rights and cannot be invoked for other legal or constitutional rights [3]. Statement 2 is incorrect because while the Supreme Court's power is limited to Fundamental Rights, the High Courts possess a wider jurisdiction under Article 226 [1]. High Courts can issue writs not only for the enforcement of Fundamental Rights but also for 'any other purpose,' which includes the enforcement of ordinary legal rights [3]. Consequently, the Supreme Court is the guarantor of Fundamental Rights, whereas High Courts have a broader discretionary power to address various legal grievances [3]. Therefore, only the first statement accurately describes the constitutional limitation of Article 32.
