    Correct option is B

    The correct answer is (b) Directive Principles

    • The provision for free legal aid is mentioned under Article 39A of the Directive Principles of State Policy (DPSP), which directs the state to ensure that the legal system provides free legal aid to the poor and disadvantaged.

    • While the Directive Principles are not enforceable by the courts, they are fundamental in guiding the state in making laws and shaping policies for social justice and the welfare of the people.

    Information Booster:

    • Article 39A: It was added by the 42nd Amendment Act of 1976 and emphasizes the importance of providing access to justice through free legal aid to the weaker sections of society.

    • Directive Principles of State Policy (DPSP): These are guidelines in the Indian Constitution (Part IV) that aim to establish social and economic justice. While not legally enforceable, they serve as a foundation for policy-making.

    • The Right to Free Legal Aid is crucial in ensuring that justice is accessible to all, regardless of their financial situation.
