Consider the statements: I. Directive Principles of State Policy are enforceable by courts in the same way as Fundamental Rights. II. Directive Principles are fundamental in the governance of the country, and the State is expected to apply them in making laws. Which is correct?

Only statement II is correct. Directive Principles are fundamental to governance and guide the State in making laws, but they are non-justiciable, meaning courts cannot enforce them in the way they enforce Fundamental Rights.

  1. AOnly I is correct
  2. BOnly II is correctCorrect
  3. CBoth I and II are correct
  4. DNeither I nor II is correct

Explanation

Directive Principles in Part IV are non-justiciable, so courts cannot enforce them like Fundamental Rights; statement I is wrong. They are nevertheless fundamental in governance and the State should apply them in making laws, so statement II is correct.
