UPSC NDA-2 – 2018
The correct answer is Protection of personal law.
Protection of personal law is not listed as a Directive Principle of State Policy (DPSP) in the Constitution of India. While the Constitution aims for a Uniform Civil Code (Article 44), which would replace diverse personal laws, protecting existing personal laws is contrary to this directive and is not a DPSP.
Options A (Article 39A – Equal justice and free legal aid), B (Article 49 – Protection of monuments, places and objects of national importance), and D (Article 50 – Separation of Judiciary from Executive) are all explicitly included as Directive Principles of State Policy in Part IV of the Indian Constitution.
