The Directive Principles of State Policy (DPSP) are fundamental in the governance of the country but are non-justiciable in nature. This means they are not enforceable by any court for their violation, as enshrined in Article 37 of the Indian Constitution.
The Directive Principles of State Policy (DPSP) are fundamental in the governance of the country but are non-justiciable in nature. This means they are not enforceable by any court for their violation, as enshrined in Article 37 of the Indian Constitution.
Article 37 of the Indian Constitution
DPSP are contained in Part IV of the Constitution (Articles 36 to 51).
They were borrowed from the Irish Constitution, which had copied them from the Spanish Constitution.
B.R. Ambedkar described DPSP as 'novel features' of the Indian Constitution.
Justiciability: Unlike Fundamental Rights (which can be enforced via Writ jurisdiction under Article 32 or 226), DPSP serve as moral obligations for the state to follow when formulating policies.
Governance: While not legally binding, Article 37 explicitly states that these principles are 'fundamental in the governance of the country' and the state has a duty to apply them in making laws.
Option A is incorrect because DPSP can be discussed and used for statutory interpretation. Option B is incorrect as it describes Fundamental Rights. Option D is incorrect because, while the judiciary balances them, Fundamental Rights generally enjoy supremacy over DPSP in case of direct conflict (Minerva Mills Case).
C is correct — Directive Principles are not enforceable by any court.
Always link DPSP with the 'Fundamental Rights' topic, as exam questions frequently ask for comparisons regarding their enforceability and legal status.
