Which Committee identified the existence of legal provisions for the implementation of some of the Fundamental Duties?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. Justice Verma Committee.

The Justice Verma Committee, also known as the National Commission to Review the Working of the Constitution (NCRWC), did not specifically identify the existence of legal provisions for the implementation of some of the Fundamental Duties.

However, it was the 42nd Constitutional Amendment Act of 1976 that added Fundamental Duties (Article 51A) to the Indian Constitution. Article 51A lists 11 Fundamental Duties for citizens, which are aimed at promoting a sense of responsibility and respect for the Constitution and national values.
