\nStatement A is correct. Article 37 of the Constitution, which is part of Part IV containing the Directive Principles of State Policy (DPSPs), clearly states, “The provisions contained in this Part shall not be enforceable by any court”. This means DPSPs are non-justiciable, i.e., they cannot be enforced through legal action in courts.
\nStatement B is incorrect. While laws placed in the Ninth Schedule were initially considered immune from judicial review, the Supreme Court in the I.R. Coelho case (2007) ruled that laws placed in the Ninth Schedule after April 24, 1973 (the date of the Kesavananda Bharati judgment) are subject to judicial review if they violate the basic structure of the Constitution.
\nStatement C is incorrect. Laws enacted under Article 323-A (Administrative Tribunals) establish tribunals whose decisions are subject to judicial review by High Courts (under Articles 226\/227) and the Supreme Court (under Article 136), as established in the L. Chandra Kumar case (1997).
\nStatement D is incorrect. Ordinances promulgated by the President under Article 123 or Governors under Article 213 are laws and are subject to judicial review on grounds such as lack of legislative competence, violation of fundamental rights, or malafide intent (as established in cases like D.C. Wadhwa vs. State of Bihar).
\n<\/section>\n
\nDirective Principles of State Policy are explicitly made non-justiciable by Article 37 of the Constitution.
\n<\/section>\n
\nJusticiability refers to the ability to enforce rights or principles through court action. While DPSPs are non-justiciable, they are fundamental in the governance of the country and are expected to guide the State in making laws.
