A State legislature, in a bill, makes the State's minimum wage fixation guided by the goal that every worker should secure a wage enabling a decent standard of life and full enjoyment of leisure. Which provision of the Constitution expresses this aspiration, and what is its legal nature?

Article 43 expresses it. It directs the State to endeavour to secure a living wage and conditions of work ensuring a decent standard of life and full enjoyment of leisure. It is a Directive Principle in Part IV, so courts cannot directly enforce it, though it guides legislation.
