New Delhi: The Supreme Court today refused to entertain a PIL seeking a direction to the Centre for implemention of the recommendations of the Justice J S Verma committee to bring into force fundamental duties of citizens.

"This report is of 1999. How can a court direct the government to implement fundamental duties," a bench comprising Chief Justice J S Khehar and Justice D Y Chandrachud said, while dismissing a plea filed by Ashwini Kumar Upadhyay, a lawyer and spokesperson of the Delhi chapter of the BJP.
