Equality under Law -
This means that no one has any unique rights or benefits
There is no prejudice in the eyes of the court based on irrelevant factors such as status,
position, and so on
Declares that all individuals, regardless of status or position, are susceptible to the
exclusive jurisdiction of regular courts
Equal legal protection under the law -
It is a logical extension of equal treatment under the law
It specifies that all individuals inside the legal boundaries shall be afforded equal
protection
This indicates that such security must be provided without regard for favour or prejudice
This entails fair treatment in identical situations, both in terms of legal rights and duties
It is the government's affirmative responsibility, which it must fulfil by enacting essential
economic and social reforms, to ensure that everyone receives such equitable
protection.
