Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: C
Explanation

The Directive Principles of State Policy (DPSP), contained in Part IV of the Constitution (Articles 36-51), include 'Equal justice and free legal aid' under Article 39A [2]. Article 49 mandates the 'Protection of monuments and places and objects of national importance' [2]. Article 50 directs the 'Separation of judiciary from executive' in the public services of the State [2]. While Article 44 directs the State to endeavor toward a 'Uniform Civil Code' for all citizens, there is no specific provision for the 'Protection of personal law' within the DPSP. In fact, the goal of a Uniform Civil Code is to replace diverse personal laws with a common set of laws. Therefore, the protection of personal law is not a part of the Directive Principles enshrined in the Constitution.
