Aggrieved by this circular, which affected the fundamental rights of his and other members of the Union, approaches the High Court of the state for relief.

Solution
The prohibition against any imposition of restriction against a fundamental right is not applicable to anybody other than the state and hence Navin will not get any relief from the High Court.
