  • In which form Right to Equality exists in Article 14

    Forms a part of the basic structure of the constitution

    Article 14 of the constitution states that:
    “The State shall not deny to any person equality before the law or the equal protection of the laws within the territory of India.”
    This article constitutes of 2 parts:
    1. Equality before law and
    2. Equal protection of the laws.
    The word law used in both the expressions mean differently. In first expression it is used in the Philosophical sense and in the latter it is used to denote specific laws in force.

    Equality before the law talks about equal subjection of all citizens (rich or poor, high or low, official or non-official) to the ordinary law of the land administered by the ordinary law courts and is a negative concept as implies the absence of any privilege in favor of any individual and equal subjection of all classes to the ordinary law. Whereas, equal protection of the laws is a Positive Concept as it implies equality of treatment in equal circumstances both in privileges conferred and liabilities imposed. So, all the persons must be treated alike on reasonable classification. Among equals, law should be equal and equally administered. The guarantee of equal protection applies against substantive as well as procedural laws.
