Are the Principles of Policy legally binding?

The Principles of Policy are constitutional guidelines provided in Part II, Chapter 2 of the Constitution of Pakistan, 1973. They direct the State to promote social welfare, justice, equality, and good governance while making laws and policies. However, these principles are not legally binding or enforceable through courts. This means that a citizen cannot generally file a case solely to force the government to implement a Principle of Policy. Instead, they serve as a framework and moral obligation for state institutions to consider while performing their duties.
