Q

) Consider the following statements.
1. Article 44 of the Constitution says the state shall endeavour by suitable legislation to secure for citizens
a uniform civil code throughout the territory of India.
2. The duty of the court is far greater in other directive principles than in Article 44.
3. The definition of ‘State’, under Article 12, also includes local or other authorities within the territory of
India or under the control of the Government of India.
Which of the above statements is/are correct?

A

Article 44 of the Constitution says the state shall endeavour to secure for citizens a uniform civil code
throughout the territory of India. The definition of ‘State’, as given in Article 12, includes the overnment and
Parliament of India and the government and the legislature of each of the states and all local or other authorities
within the territory of India or under the control of the Government of India.
While Article 44 uses the phrase “state shall endeavour”, other Articles in the ‘Directive Principles’ chapter use
expressions such as “in particular strive”; “shall take steps”; “shall promote with special care”; “shall in particular
direct its policy”; “shall regard its primary duty”; “shall be obligation of the state” etc. All of these mean that the
duty of the court is far greater in other directive principles than in Article 44.
While Article 43 mentions that the “state shall endeavour by suitable legislation”, the phrase “by suitable
legislation” is absent in Article 44, which indicates that the framers did not intend enactment of uniform civil
code by a single legislation
