Read the following passage and answer the questions 11 to 15 :
The
fundamental principle is that Article 14 forbids class legislation but permits
reasonable classification for the purpose of legislation which classification
must satisfy the twin tests of classification being founded on an intelligible
differentia which distinguishes persons or things that are grouped together
from those that are left out of the group and that differentia must have a
rational nexus to the object sought to be achieved by the Statute in question.
The thrust of Article 14 is that the citizen is entitled to equality before law
and equal protection of laws. In the very nature of things the society being
composed of unequals a welfare State will have to strive by both executive and
legislative action to help the less fortunate in society to ameliorate their
condition so that the social and economic inequality in the society may be
bridged. This would necessitate a legislative application to a group of
citizens otherwise unequal and amelioration of whose lot is the object of state
affirmative action. In the absence of the doctrine of classification such
legislation is likely to flounder on the bed rock of equality enshrined in
Article 14. The Court realistically appraising the social and economic
inequality and keeping in view the guidelines on which the State action must
move as constitutionally laid down in Part IV of the Constitution evolved the
doctrine of classification. The doctrine was evolved to sustain a legislation
or State action designed to help weaker sections of the society or some such
segments of the society in need of succour. Legislative and executive action
may accordingly be sustained if it satisfies the twin tests of reasonable
classification and the rational principle correlated to the object sought to be
achieved.
The concept of equality before the law does not involve the idea of absolute
equality among human beings which is a physical impossibility. All that Article
14 guarantees is a similarity of treatment contra-distinguished from identical
treatment. Equality before law means that among equals the law should be equal
and should be equally administered and that the likes should be treated alike.
Equality before the law does not mean that things which are different shall be
as though they are the same. It of course means denial of any special privilege
by reason of birth, creed or the like. The legislation as well as the executive
government, while dealing with diverse problems arising out of an infinite
variety of human relations must of necessity have the power of making special
laws, to attain any particular object and to achieve that object it must have
the power of selection or classification of persons and things upon which such
laws are to operate.
