Which of the following statements best describes the legal status and utility of the Preamble to the Constitution of India?

Fundamental Rights — question ID 136

Options

A.
B.

Explanation

The Preamble is non-justiciable, meaning its provisions are not enforceable in courts of law. It is neither a source of power to the legislature nor a prohibition upon the powers of the legislature. However, as established by the Supreme Court, it acts as a guiding light and can be used to clarify and interpret ambiguous provisions of the Constitution.
