Consider the following statements regarding the Fundamental Duties in the Indian Constitution:
1. Respecting the National Flag and National Anthem is classified as a civic duty, whereas cherishing the noble ideals of the freedom struggle is considered a moral duty.
2. Fundamental Duties are directly enforceable by courts of law.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

Question

Accepted Answer

Statement 1 is correct because the Constitution distinguishes between civic duties (like respecting the National Flag and National Anthem) and moral duties (like cherishing the noble ideals of our freedom struggle). Statement 2 is incorrect because Fundamental Duties are non-justiciable and cannot be directly enforced by courts, though Parliament has the power to enforce them by enacting appropriate laws.
