The Fundamental Rights are the rights of the individual citizens guaranteed by the Constitution. The directive principles lay down various tenets of a welfare state. They are just guidelines that should be followed by the government to establish a welfare state. An important difference between the two is that while the fundamental rights are justiciable and can be enforced by the court, the Directive Principles are non-justiciable and cannot be enforced upon the government. The conflict between the two arises when the State needs to implement a directive principle and it infringes/abridges the fundamental rights of the citizens. While Parliament has often tried to assert the supremacy of the state and DPSPs over Fundamental Rights, the Supreme Court has repeatedly held that Directive Principles could not override a Fundamental Right, and in case of a conflict between the two, the Fundamental Right would prevail over the Directive Principles. This point was settled by the Supreme Court in State of Madras v. Champakam Dorairajan case.
