UPSC NDA-2 – 2021
The correct option is A, Right to adequate livelihood.
Rights in the Indian Constitution can be broadly classified into justiciable and non-justiciable rights. Justiciable rights, such as Fundamental Rights (Part III), are enforceable by the courts. Non-justiciable rights, such as the Directive Principles of State Policy (DPSPs, Part IV), are guidelines for the state and are not directly enforceable by courts. The Right to adequate livelihood is mentioned in Article 39(a) as a principle of policy to be followed by the State, falling under the Directive Principles of State Policy, which are non-justiciable.
Options B, C, and D are all Fundamental Rights guaranteed under Part III of the Constitution and are therefore justiciable. The Right against exploitation includes prohibition of forced labour and child labour (Articles 23-24). Rights of the accused are covered under various articles like Article 20 (protection in respect of conviction for offences), Article 21 (protection of life and personal liberty), and Article 22 (protection against arrest and detention). The Right to life and personal liberty is guaranteed under Article 21.
