- They shall be enforceable by courts.
- They shall not be enforceable by any court.
- The principles laid down in this part are to influence the making of laws by the State. Select the correct answer using the code given below:
B.2 only
A.1 only
C.1 and 3 only
D.2 and 3 only
Correct Answer: Option D
Part IV of the Constitution of India (Articles 36-51) contains the Directive Principles of State Policy (DPSPs).
DPSPs are not enforceable by any court. This means that individuals cannot directly go to court to compel the government to implement these principles.
However, the principles laid down in Part IV are fundamental in the governance of the country, and it is the duty of the State to apply these principles in making laws to establish a just society.
Statement 1 is not correct. Statements 2 and 3 are correct.
Hence, only statements 2 and 3 are correct.
