Which of the following is NOT a salient feature of Fundamental Duties of the Indian Constitution?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The Correct Answer is option 1 i.e. They are enforceable by law and can be challenged in court.
Fundamental Duties in the Indian Constitution are not enforceable by law; they are non-justiciable, meaning they cannot be directly enforced or challenged in a court of law. These duties, added by the 42nd Amendment in 1976, serve as moral obligations for citizens to promote patriotism and uphold the unity of India. They are both civic and moral in nature, encouraging responsible behavior. Unlike Fundamental Rights, which are legally enforceable, Fundamental Duties do not confer any legal rights or remedies. Therefore, the statement that they are enforceable and challengeable in court is incorrect.
