Explanation

Part III of the Constitution contains rights with varying scopes of enforceability. Statement 1 is correct as most Fundamental Rights, such as Article 14 (Equality before law), are primarily enforceable against the 'State' as defined in Article 12 [1]. Statement 2 is correct because certain rights, such as Article 15(1), Article 16, and Article 19, are specifically guaranteed to 'citizens only' rather than all persons [3]. Statement 3 is correct as specific provisions like Article 15(2) (access to shops/public places), Article 17 (abolition of untouchability), Article 23 (prohibition of forced labor), and Article 24 are enforceable against both the State and private individuals [1]. Recent judicial interpretations have further expanded the horizontal application of rights like Article 21 against non-state actors in specific contexts. Thus, all three statements accurately describe the multi-dimensional enforceability of Fundamental Rights.
