Article 48A obligates the State to protect and improve the environment and safeguard forests and wildlife. Both Article 48A and Part IV-A (containing Article 51A(g)) were added together to the Constitution of India via the 42nd Constitutional Amendment Act, 1976.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Examine the origin and provision of Article 48A under Part IV (DPSPs).
Article 48A mandates the State to protect and improve the environment and safeguard forests and wildlife.
It was introduced into Part IV by the 42nd Constitutional Amendment Act, 1976.
2
Analyze the legal history and inclusion of Fundamental Duties under Part IV-A.
Part IV-A (Article 51A), which includes Article 51A(g) regarding environmental duty, was added by the 42nd Constitutional Amendment Act, 1976, and was not present in the original 1950 Constitution.
Fundamental Duties were added based on the recommendations of the Swaran Singh Committee.
3
Evaluate the judicial enforceability of Article 48A under Article 37.
Directive Principles are fundamentally non-justiciable and cannot be directly enforced by writ jurisdiction under Article 226.
Article 37 explicitly declares that Part IV provisions are not enforceable by any court.
