Justice Verma said that duties are sections of the Constitution of India that prescribe the fundamental obligations of the state to its citizens, as well as the duties and rights of the citizens towards the state. These sections are considered vital elements of the Constitution, which was developed in 1949 by the Constituent Assembly of India, he said.
Khanna added that the fundamental duties, set out in Part IV–A of the Constitution, concern both individuals and the nation. Like the Directive Principles, they are not enforceable by courts unless made so by parliamentary law.
