What happens if the directive principles and fundamental rights come to clash with each other.?

When directive principles and fundamental rights clash, the judiciary often plays a critical role in resolving the conflict. The Constitution of India provides that while fundamental rights are justiciable and enforceable, directive principles are non-justiciable but aim to guide the state in policy-making. Courts typically seek a harmonious interpretation, balancing the two to uphold the spirit of the Constitution. Ultimately, in cases of conflict, fundamental rights may take precedence, but the principles serve as essential guidelines for legislation and governance.
