Which of the following statements about the Directive Principles of State Policy is correct?
They are non-justiciable guidelines that aim to establish a just society.
The Directive Principles of State Policy (DPSP) are contained in Part IV (Articles 36-51) of the Constitution and were borrowed from the Irish Constitution.
Article 37 clearly states that these principles are non-justiciable, meaning they cannot be enforced by any court through writ petitions, so the first two options are incorrect.
They serve as guidelines to the State for framing laws and policies aimed at establishing a just social, economic and political order (a welfare society).
Like other constitutional provisions, they can be amended by Parliament, so they are not absolute or unamendable.
Hence, the DPSP are non-justiciable guidelines that aim to establish a just society.
