Explanation using Example
Example 1:
Ravi and Priya, two citizens of India, apply for a government job. Ravi belongs to a higher caste, while Priya belongs to a lower caste. The government cannot deny Priya the job solely based on her caste. Both Ravi and Priya must be given equal consideration based on their qualifications and merit, not their caste. This ensures that both individuals are treated equally before the law.
Example 2:
Aman, a wealthy businessman, and Raju, a street vendor, are both accused of the same crime. The police and judicial system must treat both Aman and Raju equally, regardless of their economic status. Aman cannot receive preferential treatment or a lighter sentence because of his wealth. Both must be given the same legal rights and protections, ensuring that justice is served fairly and impartially.
