Q: Delineate the citation of Ashok Kumar Thakur vs Union of India (2008) ?

Ans: In Ashok Kumar Thakur vs Union of India (2008), the Supreme Court clarified that no distinction should be made between the two sets of rights. Fundamental Rights are civil and political rights, while Directive Principles deal with social and economic rights. The fact that Directive Principles are not enforceable in a court of law does not imply that they are subordinate.

Overall, these cases highlight the interconnectedness of Fundamental Rights and Directive Principles. Neither is considered supreme over the other.

The government has undertaken various acts to implement these principles, such as establishing Panchayats through the 73rd Amendment, creating Nagar Palikas under Article 41 and including compulsory education for children below the age of 14 as a Fundamental Right. Additionally, the government has enacted laws, such as the Ancient and Historical Monuments and Archaeological Sites and Remains (Declaration of National Importance) Act, 1951, to protect monuments of national significance.

Q: Delineate Article 165 of Indian Constitution ?

Ans: Article 165 of Chapter 2 (The Executive) in Part VI (The States) of the Constitution of India provides for the office of the Advocate General for the States who is the highest law officer in the State. So the office of Advocate General plays an important role in the day-to-day functions of the State Governments in the Federal System of India. Also, the Constitution does not fix the remuneration of the Advocate General and he/she receives such remuneration as the Governor may determine. It is not a full-time post and he/she can engage in private legal practice. The Advocate General can also be reappointed or is eligible for any other government appointment after ceasing to hold office.
