Constitutional Law
Directive Principles of State Policy
Guidelines set out in the Constitution directing the state to work toward social and economic welfare, which are not directly enforceable in court but guide governance and lawmaking.
Unlike Fundamental Rights, Directive Principles cannot be directly enforced through a court petition, but they guide the government in framing laws and policies aimed at goals like adequate livelihood, equal pay, and welfare of workers.
Courts frequently read Directive Principles together with Fundamental Rights when interpreting the scope and meaning of constitutional protections.
