Consider the provisions relating to the Fundamental Duties under Part IV-A of the Indian Constitution: 1. They were incorporated upon the recommendation of the Swaran Singh Committee. 2. They are enforceable by writs issued by the High Courts under Article 226. Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

A. 1 only✓ Correct Answer
B. 2 only
C. Both 1 and 2
D. Neither 1 nor 2

💡 Solution & Explanation

Fundamental Duties were added to Part IV-A by the Forty-Second Amendment Act of 1976 on the recommendation of the Swaran Singh Committee. They are non-justiciable in nature and cannot be enforced directly through writs by courts. Incorrect choices falsely assert their legal enforceability. Article 51A outlines these eleven duties for every citizen of India.
