\nThe correct answer is (C) 1 and 2 only.
\n<\/section>\n
\n– Statement 1: Fundamental Rights (Part III) are largely negative injunctions on the State, prohibiting it from doing certain things. Directive Principles of State Policy (Part IV) are positive obligations or guidelines to the State to promote social and economic welfare. This statement accurately describes the nature of FRs and DPSPs.
\n– Statement 2: Article 37 states that the Directive Principles are not enforceable by any court. They are fundamental in the governance of the country, and it shall be the duty of the State to apply these principles in making laws. This means they require legislative action for implementation. Until a law is passed to implement a DPSP, the DPSP itself does not create enforceable rights or override existing laws. This statement is correct.
\n– Statement 3: Article 37 explicitly states that the Directive Principles shall not be enforceable by any court. They are non-justiciable. Fundamental Rights, on the other hand, are justiciable and enforceable in courts (Articles 32 and 226). This statement is incorrect.
\n<\/section>\n
\n– The relationship between Fundamental Rights and Directive Principles has evolved through judicial interpretation, sometimes leading to conflicts (e.g., Golaknath case vs. Kesavananda Bharati case). Currently, the position is that FRs are supreme, but DPSPs can be implemented by legislation provided they do not violate the basic structure of the Constitution.
