उत्तर
In case of any conflict between the Directive Principles and Fundamental Rights, the former shall prevail. This is because the welfare of the people as a whole is of paramount importance over that of an individual. However, the Directive principles are not enforceable by any court of law in the country. This in effect means that the citizens cannot move the courts of law if the government fails to implement these directives. But on moral grounds both the government and the courts have to take cognizance of these directives.
