Q36 (IAS/2017) Polity & Governance › Fundamental Rights, DPSP & Fundamental Duties › Fundamental Duties framework Official Key

Which of the following statements is/are true of the Fundamental Duties of an Indian citizen ? 1. A legislative process has been provided to enforce these duties. 2. They are correlative to legal duties. Select the correct answer using the code given below :

Result
Your answer:  ·  Correct: D
Explanation

The correct answer is option D (Neither 1 nor 2) because both statements are false regarding Fundamental Duties in India.

Statement 1 is incorrect because there is no legal sanction provided for violation or non-performance of Fundamental Duties, and there is neither specific provision for enforceability nor any specific prohibition[1]. By their nature, it is not practicable to enforce the Fundamental Duties and they must be left to the will and aspiration of the citizens[2].

Statement 2 is also incorrect because the Fundamental Duties set out in article 51A were not intended to be legally enforced by one citizen against the other[3]. Though not enforceable by law, the provision lists 11 duties which every citizen of India "shall" follow[4]. This means they are moral and civic obligations rather than legal duties that create enforceable rights or correlative legal obligations.

While in the case of citizens holding public office, each and all Fundamental Duties can be enforced by suitable legislation and departmental rules of conduct[2], this is an exception and does not make them generally enforceable legal duties for all citizens.

This is a classic 'Conceptual Trap' disguised as a simple static question. It tests the precise legal nature of Part IVA rather than the content of the duties. While standard books list the duties, the answer relies on understanding the 'Silence of the Constitution' regarding their enforcement mechanisms.

How this question is built

This question can be broken into the following sub-statements. Tap a statement sentence to jump into its detailed analysis.

Statement 1
Does the Constitution of India provide a legislative process to enforce the Fundamental Duties of an Indian citizen (Article 51A)?
Origin: Web / Current Affairs Fairness: CA heavy Web-answerable

Web source
Presence: 5/5
"It is true that there is no legal sanction provided for violation or non-performance of Fundamental Duties. There is neither specific provision for enforceability nor any specific prohibition."
Why this source?
  • Explicitly states there is no legal sanction or specific provision for enforceability of Fundamental Duties in the Constitution.
  • Directly supports the point that the Constitution itself does not provide a statutory enforcement mechanism.

Why this source?
  • Acknowledges that Fundamental Duties are generally not practicable to enforce directly under the Constitution.
  • States that for citizens holding public office, Fundamental Duties "can be enforced by suitable legislation and departmental rules of conduct," indicating Parliament/legislature can create enforcement mechanisms.

"if the existing legislations are inadequate to enforce the needed discipline, such a legislative vacuum must be filled suitably to ensure enforceability."
Why this source?
  • Indicates that where existing legislation is inadequate to enforce duties, the legislative vacuum "must be filled suitably to ensure enforceability."
  • Supports the view that enforcement depends on parliamentary/legislative action rather than an inbuilt constitutional process.

Introduction to the Constitution of India, D. D. Basu (26th ed.). > Chapter 8: FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS AND FUNDAMENTAL DUTIES > Fundamental Duties. > p. 161
Strength: 4/5
“II. The Fundamental Duties<sup>390</sup> are 10 [now 11]<sup>391</sup> in number, incorporated in Article 51A [Part IVA], which has been inserted by the 42nd Amendment Act, 1976. Under this • Article, it shall be the duty of every citizen of India- • (i) to abide by the Constitution and respect its ideals and institutions, the National Flag and the National Anthem; • (ii) to cherish and follow the noble ideals which inspired our national struggle for freedom; • (iii) to protect the sovereignty, unity and integrity of India; • (iv) to defend the country;”
Why relevant

Identifies Article 51A (Part IVA) as the constitutional source listing Fundamental Duties — shows duties are constitutional provisions introduced by amendment.

How to extend

A student could check whether placing duties in the Constitution implies accompanying enforcement provisions or leaves enforcement to ordinary legislation or other mechanisms.

Indian Polity, M. Laxmikanth(7th ed.) > Chapter 4: Salient Features of the Constitution > mi l Fundamental Duties > p. 31
Strength: 4/5
“The original constitution did not provide for the Fundamental Duties of the citizens. These were added during the operation of internal emergency (1975-77) by the 42nd Constitutional Amendment Act of 1976 on the recommendation of the Swaran Singh Committee. The 86th Constitutional Amendment Act of 2002 added one more fundamental duty. Part IV-A of the Constitution (which consists of only one Article 51-A) specifies the eleven Fundamental Duties, viz., to respect the Constitution, national flag and national anthem; to protect the sovereignty, unity and integrity of the country; to promote the spirit of common brotherhood amongst all the people; to preserve the rich heritage of our composite culture and so on.”
Why relevant

States the Fundamental Duties were added by the 42nd Amendment (and later one by the 86th) — an example of the legislature using amendment power to create duties.

How to extend

A student could use this pattern to ask whether the same or other legislative acts (ordinary laws) were enacted to operationalise those duties after the amendments.

Introduction to the Constitution of India, D. D. Basu (26th ed.). > Chapter 8: FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS AND FUNDAMENTAL DUTIES > CHAP. 81 > p. 151
Strength: 5/5
“The Indian Constitution lays down the following provisions for the enforcement of the Fundamental Rights guaranteed by the Constitution, in the light of the above experience: (a) The Fundamental Rights are guaranteed by the Constitution not only against the action of the Executive but also against that of the Legislature. Any act of the Executive or of the Legislature which takes away or abridges any of these rights shall be void and the courts are empowered to declare it as void [Article 13].”
Why relevant

Explains that the Constitution contains explicit provisions for enforcement of Fundamental Rights (e.g., judicial power under Article 13) — showing a model of how constitutional guarantees can be enforced.

How to extend

By analogy, a student could examine whether a similar specific enforcement mechanism (judicial remedy or legislative sanction) is provided for Article 51A.

Introduction to the Constitution of India, D. D. Basu (26th ed.). > Chapter 8: FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS AND FUNDAMENTAL DUTIES > Exceptions to Funda· mental Rights. > p. 96
Strength: 4/5
“Of course, no part of the Constitution of India can be changed by ordinary legislation unless so authorised by the Constitution itself (eg, Article 4); but all parts of the Constitution except the basic features can be amended by an Amendment Act passed under Article 368, including the fundamental rights. This proposition has been established after a history of its own: A.”
Why relevant

States that most parts of the Constitution (including Fundamental Rights) can be amended by Article 368 — demonstrating that substantive constitutional change is achieved via a formal legislative-amendment process.

How to extend

A student might infer that additions (like Article 51A) came through Article 368 and then investigate whether Article 51A itself or subsequent laws include procedural/legislative enforcement provisions.

Indian Polity, M. Laxmikanth(7th ed.) > Chapter 89: National Commission to Review the Working of the Constitution > El l On Fundamental Duties > p. 617
Strength: 4/5
“• 1. Consideration should be given to the ways and means by which Fundamental Duties could be popularized and made effective. • 2. The recommendations of the Justice Verma Committee on operationalisation of Fundamental Duties should be implemented at the earliest. • 3. The following new fundamental duties should be included in Article 51-A: (a) Duty to vote at elections, actively participate in the democratic process of governance and to pay taxes. (e) Duty of industrial organizations to provide education to children of their employees.”
Why relevant

Records recommendations (National Commission / Justice Verma Committee) to 'operationalise' and 'popularise' Fundamental Duties and suggests specific duties to be added — indicating active consideration of measures to make duties effective.

How to extend

A student could follow this lead to look for legislative proposals, rules, or administrative measures that those recommendations prompted to enforce duties.

Statement 2
Are the Fundamental Duties of an Indian citizen correlative to legal duties, i.e., do they create enforceable legal obligations under Indian law?
Origin: Web / Current Affairs Fairness: CA heavy Web-answerable

Web source
Presence: 5/5
"The Fundamental Duties set out in article 51A were not intended to be legally enforced by one citizen against the other."
Why this source?
  • Explicitly states Fundamental Duties were not intended to be legally enforced by one citizen against another.
  • Characterises duties as moral/ethical guidance (like the Ten Commandments) rather than legally enforceable obligations.
Web source
Presence: 5/5
"It is true that there is no legal sanction provided for violation or non-performance of Fundamental Duties. There is neither specific provision for enforceability nor any specific prohibition."
Why this source?
  • Affirms there is no legal sanction or specific provision making Fundamental Duties enforceable.
  • Distinguishes between duties' normative force and practical enforceability under law.
Web source
Presence: 4/5
"Though not enforceable by law, the provision lists 11 duties which every citizen of India “shall” follow."
Why this source?
  • Describes the duties as not enforceable by law while noting they are listed as obligations citizens ‘shall’ follow.
  • Notes ongoing litigation seeking to make duties enforceable, implying current non-enforceability.

Introduction to the Constitution of India, D. D. Basu (26th ed.). > Chapter 8: FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS AND FUNDAMENTAL DUTIES > Fundamental Duties. > p. 162
Strength: 5/5
“Of course, there is no provision in the Constitution for direct enforcement of any of these Duties395 nor for any sanction to prevent their violation. But it may be expected that in determining the constitutionality of any law, if a court finds that it seeks to give effect to any of these Duties, it may consider such law to be "reasonable" in relation to Article 14 or 19, and thus save such law from unconstitutionality The Supreme Court has held that since the duties are obligatory for a citizen, it would follow that the state should also strive to achieve the same goal.”
Why relevant

Explicitly states there is no provision in the Constitution for direct enforcement of Fundamental Duties and no sanction for their violation, but suggests courts may treat laws implementing them as 'reasonable'.

How to extend

A student could check case law and Article 14/19 jurisprudence to see whether courts have upheld statutes based on Fundamental Duties as a basis for enforceability.

Introduction to the Constitution of India, D. D. Basu (26th ed.). > Chapter 8: FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS AND FUNDAMENTAL DUTIES > Fundamental Duties. > p. 161
Strength: 5/5
“II. The Fundamental Duties<sup>390</sup> are 10 [now 11]<sup>391</sup> in number, incorporated in Article 51A [Part IVA], which has been inserted by the 42nd Amendment Act, 1976.

Why relevant

Quotes Article 51A and lists the duties, showing these are constitutional obligations placed in Part IVA (Fundamental Duties).

How to extend

A student could combine this with knowledge of constitutional enforcement mechanisms (justiciability of different Parts and Articles) to judge whether Article 51A by itself creates legal remedies.

Indian Polity, M. Laxmikanth(7th ed.) > Chapter 10: Fundamental Duties > Fundamental Duties > p. 119
Strength: 4/5
“Though the rights and duties of the citizens are correlative and inseparable, the original constitution contained only the fundamental rights and not the fundamental duties. In other words, the framers of the Constitution did not feel it necessary to incorporate the fundamental duties of the citizens in the Constitution. However, they incorporated the duties of the State in the Constitution in the form of Directive Principles of State Polity. The Fundamental Duties in the Indian Constitution are inspired by the Constitution of erstwhile USSR. Notably, none of the Constitutions of major democratic countries like USA, Canada, France, Germany, Australia and so on specifically contain a list of duties of citizens.”
Why relevant

States rights and duties are 'correlative and inseparable' but notes the original Constitution had only Fundamental Rights; duties were later added (inspired by USSR).

How to extend

A student can use this historical origin to infer intent: since duties were a later addition and modeled on non-democratic constitutions, investigate legislative intent and amendment context to assess enforceability.

Laxmikanth, M. Indian Polity. 7th ed., McGraw Hill. > Chapter 10: Fundamental Duties > SIGNIFICANCE OF FUNDAMENTAL DUTIES > p. 121
Strength: 4/5
“In spite of criticisms and opposition, the fundamental duties are considered significant from the following viewpoints: • They serve as a reminder to the citizens that while enjoying their rights, they should also be conscious of duties they owe to their country, their society and to their fellow citizens. • They serve as a warning against the antinational and antisocial activities like burning the national flag, destroying public property and so on. • They serve as a source of inspiration for the citizens and promote a sense of discipline and commitment among them. With it, the people of India created the Sovereign Democratic Republic of India in 1950, but the Republic now claims to be the master of the citizens, enjoining habitual obedience to its command to do their duty.”
Why relevant

Describes Fundamental Duties as a 'reminder' and a 'warning' against antisocial acts, implying a moral/normative role rather than a directly enforceable legal sanction.

How to extend

Combine this normative description with knowledge of how courts treat policy directives vs. justiciable rights to evaluate whether duties are likely to be treated as legally enforceable.

Indian Polity, M. Laxmikanth(7th ed.) > Chapter 92: World Constitutions > 2017 TEST PAPER > p. 751
Strength: 3/5
“2. They are correlative to legal duties. Select the correct answer using the code given below: (aJ 1 only (bJ 2 o nly • 6. In the context of India, which one of the following is the correct relations hj p between Rights and Duties? • (a) Rights are correlative with Duties. • (b) Rights are personal and hence independent of society and Duties. • (c) Rights, not Duties, are important for the advancement of the personality of the citizen. • (d) Duties, not Rights, are important for the stability of the State. • 7”
Why relevant

Presents an exam-style assertion that 'They are correlative to legal duties,' showing there is at least a view/question in study materials equating duties with legal correlative duties.

How to extend

A student could contrast this textbook/test assertion with constitutional text and judicial statements (e.g., snippet 9) to test the accuracy of that claim.

Pattern takeaway: UPSC loves 'Negative Space' questions—asking about what is NOT in the Constitution (e.g., 'Budget' word, 'Federal' word, or 'Enforcement process for Duties'). If the text doesn't explicitly say it, the answer is usually 'No'.
How you should have studied
  1. [THE VERDICT]: Trap / Conceptual Static. Source: Standard Polity (Laxmikanth Ch: Fundamental Duties / D.D. Basu Ch: Fundamental Rights & Duties).
  2. [THE CONCEPTUAL TRIGGER]: The 'Justiciability' spectrum of the Constitution. Distinguishing Part III (Justiciable) vs Part IV & IVA (Non-justiciable).
  3. [THE HORIZONTAL EXPANSION]: 1. Swaran Singh Committee's *rejected* recommendations (Penalty for violation, Duty to pay taxes). 2. Verma Committee (1999) list of legal provisions (Flag Code, Wildlife Act). 3. 86th Amendment (11th Duty). 4. Comparison with UDHR Article 29 (Duties to community).
  4. [THE STRATEGIC METACOGNITION]: Do not just memorize the list of 11 duties. You must study the *introductory* and *significance* sections of the chapter which explain that while Parliament *can* enforce them via law, the Constitution itself provides no mechanism (unlike Art 32 for Rights).

🌑 The Hidden Trap

The Swaran Singh Committee actually recommended that Parliament should impose penalties for non-compliance with duties and that such laws should be beyond judicial review. The 42nd Amendment *rejected* this. Knowing this history proves Statement 1 is false.

⚡ Elimination Cheat Code

The 'Show Me The Article' Rule. Statement 1 claims a legislative process 'has been provided.' In the Constitution, a 'provided process' always has an Article number (e.g., Art 368 for Amendment, Art 32 for Remedies). Since there is no 'Article 51B' detailing enforcement, the statement is technically false.

🔗 Mains Connection

Link to GS-4 (Ethics): Fundamental Duties are the 'Moral Compass' of the citizen. In Ethics, this concept is 'Deontology' (Duty-based ethics). Contrast this with 'Rights-based' approaches in GS-2.
