Question

Consider the following statements:
1. No provision in Constitution to encourage equal pay for equal work for men and women.
2. Constitution does not define backward classes.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

Accepted Answer

Statement 1 is incorrect because Article 39 d of the Directive Principles of State Policy explicitly directs the State to ensure that there is equal pay for equal work for both men and women. Therefore, the Constitution does contain a provision to encourage this principle.

Statement 2 is correct because while the Constitution mentions backward classes in various articles such as Article 15 4, Article 16 4, and Article 340, it does not provide a specific definition for who constitutes a backward class. The identification is left to the executive or commissions appointed for this purpose.

Since only the second statement is true, the correct option is B.
