• A. Directive Principles of State Policy are not Justiciable
• B. Directive Principles of State Policy are Justiciable
• C. Directive Principles of State Policy include Socialistic Principles
• D. Directive Principles of State Policy include Gandhian Principles

Hint:

Understand that DPSPs are fundamental in governance, but unlike Fundamental Rights, they are not legally enforceable.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Directive Principles of State Policy (DPSPs) are guidelines provided to the state for the establishment of social and economic democracy in India. These principles are not enforceable by law, and thus they are not justiciable.

Answer 2

The correct answer is: Directive Principles of State Policy are not justiciable.

Explanation:
The Directive Principles of State Policy (DPSPs) are enshrined in Part IV of the Indian Constitution (Articles 36 to 51). These principles are guidelines or recommendations to the State for establishing a just society in the country.

While they lay down important objectives such as promoting welfare, securing economic justice, reducing inequality, and ensuring fair distribution of wealth and resources, they are:

- Not enforceable by any court — meaning no citizen can move the court to enforce these principles.
- However, they are considered fundamental in the governance of the country and the government is expected to keep them in mind while framing laws and policies.

This non-justiciable nature was intentionally adopted to allow the government flexibility in implementing these principles progressively, depending on the availability of resources.

Conclusion:
The correct and constitutionally accurate statement is: Directive Principles of State Policy are not justiciable.
