Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → K T Shah
In the Constituent Assembly, Prof. K T Shah criticised the Directive Principles because they cannot be enforced in a court: the State may carry them out only when its resources allow, just as a cheque payable at the bank’s convenience is paid only when the bank chooses.
