Which of the following is a feature of the Directive Principle of State Policy of the Indian Constitution?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. Are non-justiciable.
Non-Justiciability: The Indian Constitution's Directive Principles of State Policy (DPSP) cannot be challenged in court and are therefore not enforceable.
- This is justified by giving the government flexibility in formulating policies while taking different socioeconomic situations and resource limitations into account.
- The principle of non-justiciability guarantees that the legislature and executive branch retain the authority to make policy, rather than the court intruding on their territory. As a result, although DPSPs seek to establish the foundation for a just society, they do not oblige the State to act in a certain way.
