Which of the following is NOT correct about Directive Principles of State Policy?

Question

Accepted Answer

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Directive Principles of State Policy (DPSPs) are contained in Part IV of the Constitution and aim to ensure social and economic development and welfare — so statement (1) is correct.

2. DPSPs are non‑justiciable, i.e., they are not enforceable by courts; they are guidelines for the state to follow and are expressly stated as not enforceable under $Article\ 37$ — therefore statement (2) ("They are justiciable in nature") is incorrect.

3. DPSPs serve as guidelines for governance and policy-making, so statement (3) is correct.

4. DPSPs are morally and politically (though not legally) binding on the government; they impose a duty on the state to aim at achieving the ideals, so statement (4) is correct.

Conclusion: Only statement (2) is NOT correct, i.e., "2 only". Hence the correct option is (b).
