Q37 (CISF/2017) Polity & Governance › Fundamental Rights, DPSP & Fundamental Duties

The provision for a Uniform Civil Code exists in which of the following parts of the Constitution of India ?

Result
Your answer: —  ·  Correct: B

Explanation

The provision for a Uniform Civil Code (UCC) is contained in Article 44 of the Constitution of India. This article is situated within Part IV, which outlines the Directive Principles of State Policy (DPSP). Article 44 specifies that "The State shall endeavour to secure for the citizens a uniform civil code throughout the territory of India."

  • Fundamental Rights (Part III): These are justiciable rights (Articles 12-35) that protect individual liberties.
  • Citizenship (Part II): Deals with Articles 5-11 regarding the acquisition and termination of citizenship.
  • Fundamental Duties (Part IV-A): Introduced by the 42nd Amendment Act, 1976, these are moral obligations of citizens (Article 51A).

Directive Principles are fundamental in the governance of the country but are non-justiciable in court, unlike Fundamental Rights.
