The Directive Principles, although confer no legal rights and creates no legal remedies, are significant
and useful in the following ways:
They amplify the Preamble, which solemnly resolves to secure to all citizens of India justice, liberty,
equality and fraternity.
They facilitate stability and continuity in domestic and foreign policies in political, economic and
social spheres in spite of the changes of the party in power.
They form the dominating background to all State action, legislative or executive and also a guide to
the courts in some respects.
They are supplementary to the fundamental rights of the citizens. They are intended to fill in the
vacuum in Part III by providing for social and economic rights.
They have served as useful beacon-lights to the courts. They have helped the courts in exercising
their power of judicial review, that is, the power to determine the constitutional validity of a law.
the courts can only uphold the validity of a law on the ground that it was
enacted to give effect to a directive principle. They cannot declare a law invalid for violation of DPSPs
Their implementation creates a favourable atmosphere for the full and proper enjoyment of the
fundamental rights by the citizens. Political democracy, without economic democracy, has no
meaning.
They are like an 'Instrument of Instructions' or general recommendations addressed to all authorities
in the Indian Union. They remind them of the basic principles of the new social and economic order,
which the Constitution aims at building.
They enable the opposition to exercise influence and control over the operations of the
government. The Opposition can blame the ruling party on the ground that its activities are
opposed to the Directives
the DPSP's are guiding principles for the state to follow. They cannot be
implemented without legislation unlike the Fundamental Rights
They serve as a crucial test for the performance of the government. The people can examine the
policies and programmes of the government in the light of these constitutional declarations.
Constitution makers, refrained from giving
legal enforceability to the Directive
Principles of State Policy because:
because the Constitution makers believed that a State which was elected by
people can hardly ever ignore these ideals. Since there were difficulties owing to the lack of resources,
vastness and diversity of the country, they left it on the wisdom of the people to get these ideals
enforced as laws in due course of time
Apart from the DPSP's mentioned in Part IV of the Constitution, there are certain other provisions of the
Constitution which are in the form of Directive Principles for the state. These directives are the related
to the claims of SC's, ST's to services, instruction in mother tongue and development of Hindi language.
They are also not justiciable as Part IV.
