Explanation

The original list of DPSPs contained provision for separation of judiciary from executive (under Article 50) and provision for prohibiting consumption of intoxicating drinks and drugs (under Article 47). The 42nd Amendment Act added four new DPSPs to the original list. To promote equal justice and to provide free legal aid to the poor (under Article 39A) and to protect and improve environment (under Article 48A) are two of those four principles.
