@Thinker can you please explain why the answer to Q18 is b, not C (test 3).@Patrick_jane 

My explanation- although the First two provisions of rule of law are applicable to the Indian system, but A 14 in itself contains only the second element(Equality before law).





@Patrick_jane I added some more explanation, please clarify.

For SFG 2020,  W1T3 conducted on 19 Feb 2020, the answer for question 8 is given as A. But the martial law does not affect center-state relation, it only affects FRs. Thus answer should be B

The question gave the features of Rule of law that is applicable to Indian constitution u/a 14.

I.e absence of Arbitrariness, Equality before law(this two statements are crct)

Last statement is based on American concept of equal protection of laws where it says Equality of treatment under equal circumstances,similar application of same law to similarly situated persons,like should be treated alike.


In todays question the statement of Equality treatment is twisted replacedequal with every.

EBLnEPLare used frequently in affirmative steps.

Eg Reservation where EPL a positive concept encourages govt to provide a equal platform for vulnerable sections to compete with others.

EBL negative concept reminds state that affirmative actions has to be carried without discouraging other sections.thats why cap on 50%reservations.

You are right with last line.



However leaving Q behind, don't you think  A14 contains only the second element of rule of law not first. Please enlighten.

No we have both regarding 1st state cannot punish u except for breach of law n according to procedure established by law.

Eg crossing Redlight at signal by two or 4 vehicle is breach of law n state punishes u but crossing red light by pedestrian is not a breach of law n state can't punish.

If state punishes pedestrians also then it is Arbitrariness 

But rule of law in entirety is not absolute it has exceptions.

But rule of law in entirety is not absolute it has exceptions.

Also their is trinity of FR l.e 14 19 21,that protects person liberty n dignity by balancing with social control 

Eg a poor person defame rich using his freedom of expression under 19,but rich under 21 to protect his personal dignity n under 19(2) reasonable restrictions of defamation moves to court against poor,

Court under art 14 will consider both but here court will see the EBL concept where law is breached or not n see EPL concept where the punishment can be awarded to poor at par with others or not,here court cannot leave poor because of his economic status at same time cannot give punishment to pay 1lakh or more.

So court can give a decision which will satisfy balance of individual liberty n social control.
