Which constitutional amendment has made Directive principles of state policy more important than fundamental rights?

Answer & Solution
Correct Answer: Option A
42nd Amendment Act 1976 through Article-31(C) gave precedence to all Directive Principles of State Policy over Fundamental Rights. Later on in Minerva Mills case 1980, Supreme Court struck down 42nd Amendment act related to Article-31(C) and upheld the importance of Fundamental Rights over DPSP except directives under Article-39(B) and 39(C) which are given primacy over Fundamental Rights under article-14.
