Article 50 is part of which section of the Constitution?

Correct — B. Article 50 says the State shall take steps to separate the judiciary from the executive in the public services of the State.

It sits in Part IV, Articles 36 to 51: the Directive Principles of State Policy → option (b).

Why the others are wrong

• (a)
  Fundamental Duties — Fundamental Duties are in Part IVA, a single Article, 51A, added in 1976. Article 50 comes before it, inside Part IV.
• (c)
  Fundamental Rights — Fundamental Rights run from Article 12 to Article 35 in Part III. Article 50 lies beyond that range.
• (d)
  Preamble — The Preamble has no Article number, so no Article can be part of it.

Directive Principles are instructions to the State for making laws and policy. Article 37 says no court can enforce them, yet they are fundamental in the governance of the country.

Article 50 applies that to the courts: judicial and executive functions should sit in separate hands, a safeguard for judicial independence.

Key facts

• Part III, Fundamental Rights: Articles 12–35.
• Part IV, Directive Principles of State Policy: Articles 36–51.
• Part IVA, Fundamental Duties: Article 51A, inserted by the 42nd Amendment, 1976.
• Article 37: Directive Principles are not enforceable by any court.

Common traps

• Placing Article 50 in Part III because it concerns the judiciary — it is a directive to the State, not a right.
• Taking Article 51 as a Fundamental Duty — Article 51 (international peace) is still a Directive Principle, and the duties begin at 51A.
