Differences between Fundamental Rights and Directive Principles
- Fundamental Rights are enforceable in the courts of law while Directive Principles cannot be enforced.
- While Fundamental Righ ts constitute limitations upon state action, the Directive Principles are in the nature of instructions to the Government to achieve certain ends by their decisions.
- Judiciary can declare any law void on the ground that it contravenes any of the Fundamental Rights, while the same is not in the case of Directive Principles.
- In the case of conflict between the Fundamental Rights and the Directive Principles, the former prevail.
