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.
