Which one of the following is not a part of the Directive Principles of State Policy as enshrined in the Constitution of India?

The Directive Principles of State Policy (DPSP), contained in Part IV of the Constitution (Articles 36-51), include 'Equal justice and free legal aid' under Article 39A [2]. Article 49 mandates the 'Protection of monuments and places and objects of national importance' [2]. Article 50 directs the 'Separation of judiciary from executive' in the public services of the State [2]. While Article 44 directs the State to endeavor toward a 'Uniform Civil Code' for all citizens, there is no specific provision for the 'Protection of personal law' within the DPSP. In fact, the goal of a Uniform Civil Code is to replace diverse personal laws with a common set of laws. Therefore, the protection of personal law is not a part of the Directive Principles enshrined in the Constitution.
