Question

Which of the following statements is/are true of the Fundamental Duties of an Indian citizen?
1. A legislative process has been provided to enforce these duties.
2. They are correlative to legal duties.
Select the correct answer using the code given below:

Accepted Answer

Statement 1 is incorrect. While the Fundamental Duties are part of the Indian Constitution (Article 51A), there is no specific legislative process provided in the Constitution for their direct enforcement. They are not directly enforceable by courts in the same way as Fundamental Rights. However, Parliament can enact laws to enforce specific duties. Statement 2 is incorrect. Fundamental Duties are moral and civic obligations of citizens. They are not correlative to legal duties in the sense that failure to perform a fundamental duty does not automatically invite legal punishment, unless a specific law has been enacted to make it a legal duty (e.g., paying taxes, which is also a legal duty). Fundamental Rights, however, are correlative to the duties of the State.
