– Statement 2 is incorrect. Fundamental Duties are moral and civic obligations and are not correlative to legal duties. A legal duty implies a corresponding legal right, which is not the case with Fundamental Duties. For instance, the duty to develop scientific temper does not create a legal right for someone else. They are non-justiciable in the sense that a person cannot be dragged to court for not performing a Fundamental Duty, unless specifically mandated by a corresponding law.
