    Question

     Consider the following statements:
    (i) The Preamble to the Indian Constitution is enforceable in a court of law.
    (ii) The Preamble declares India to be a Sovereign, Socialist, Secular and Democratic Republic.
    Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

    A.

    Both (i) and (ii)

    B.

    Only (i)

    C.

    Only (ii)

    D.

    Neither (i) nor (ii)

    Correct option is C

    The correct answer is (c) Only (ii) 

    Explanation:
    • Statement (ii) is correct. The Preamble of the Indian Constitution declares India to be a Sovereign, Socialist, Secular, Democratic Republic, securing Justice, Liberty, Equality, and Fraternity for its citizens.
    • Statement (i) is incorrect. The Preamble to the Indian Constitution is not enforceable in a court of law. 

    Information Booster:
    • The terms 'Socialist' and 'Secular' were added to the Preamble by the 42nd Constitutional Amendment Act of 1976, reflecting India's commitment to social justice and religious neutrality.
    • The Preamble is considered a guiding light for interpreting the Constitution, but it does not grant substantive rights independently enforceable in courts.
    • The Preamble is a part of the Constitution, affirmed by the Supreme Court in the Kesavananda Bharati case (1973).
