Misconception: Article 14 only deals with equality of laws
admin du_llb intermediate myth_bustLagta hai coaching classes ke notes me ye likha hua hota hai, Article 14 ka concept only equality of laws ke bare me hai, magar yeh sach nahin hai. In theory, Article 14 mein equality of laws ke sath hi equality before law bhi shamil hai. Case of State of West Bengal vs. Anwar Ali in 1952, SC ne lagu kar diya ki Article 14 ke under, government ki koi bhi karyawahi, kanoonon ke shikkar, ya vyavastha ko is prakaar nahin kiya ja sakta hai, jo ki do logon ko alag-alag treatment dega. Toh, yeh samajhna hoga ki Article 14 ka scope bhi doosri cheezon tak jaata hai.

Arre bhai, don't be so narrow-minded. Article 14 is much more than just equality of laws. It also deals with procedural fairness, equal treatment under the law, and non-arbitrariness. Kahan se aaye hain yeh jumle? It's not just about sabhi ki sab se adhik shakti hai ya sabhi ki sab se adhik izzat hai. Non-discrimination is also a key aspect of Article 14.
Bhai, yeh to bahut galat hai. Article 14 ka concept kai ghaneeya pehluon se juda hai, na keval equality of laws se. Isme equality of opportunity, equality before law, aur prohibition of arbitrary power bhi shaamil hain. Lekin, agar hum isme equality of laws ki hi baat karen, toh iska matlab yeh bhi hai ki laws ke paband hon aur apne hi anusar nahin banaye ja saken.
