The relationship between Directive Principles of State Policy (DPSPs) and Fundamental Rights (FRs) in the Indian Constitution is complex and has evolved through judicial interpretation. Initially, in cases like Champakam Dorairajan, the Supreme Court favored FRs, stating they would prevail in case of conflict. However, later landmark cases like Kesavananda Bharati recognized the complementary nature of FRs and DPSPs, emphasizing that both aim to establish a welfare state. The courts now strive to interpret them harmoniously, acknowledging their shared goal of social justice.
