SSC CGL 2024 PYQ — Question 37

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. They are justiciable in nature.

The statement that Directive Principles of State Policy are justiciable in nature is NOT correct. In India, Directive Principles, enshrined in Part IV of the Constitution, serve as guidelines for the state to formulate policies aimed at promoting social and economic welfare. However, they are not legally enforceable in a court of law, making them non-justiciable. Their purpose is to ensure that the government strives toward achieving social justice, equality, and economic well-being. While they hold significant moral and political weight, they are intended to complement the Fundamental Rights, guiding legislative and executive actions rather than serving as enforceable rights.
