Q102 (CDS-II/2017) Polity & Governance › Fundamental Rights, DPSP & Fundamental Duties › Directive Principles framework Answer Verified

Which one of the following statements regarding Uniform Civil Code as provided under Article 44 of the Constitution of India is not correct?

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: A
Explanation

Article 44 of the Indian Constitution provides for a Uniform Civil Code (UCC), stating that the State shall endeavour to secure it for citizens throughout the territory of India. However, Article 44 is part of the Directive Principles of State Policy (DPSP) in Part IV, not a Fundamental Right in Part III [2]. According to Article 37, while the provisions in Part IV are not enforceable by any court, they are nevertheless fundamental in the governance of the country, and it is the duty of the State to apply these principles in making laws. Therefore, statement 1 is incorrect because the UCC is a directive principle rather than a Fundamental Right [2]. Statements 2, 3, and 4 accurately reflect the constitutional text and the non-justiciable yet fundamental nature of DPSPs as defined in Articles 37 and 44.
