Legal Writings

The doctrine of equality before law is a necessary corollary to the high concept of the rule of law. And doctrine of equality demands that the like should be treated alike but not unlike in similar circumstances. Equality simply request the absence of any dissemination. This means that similar case must be treated similarly "according to one and the same rule" The principle of "formal equality" demand 'equality of result'. Broadly speaking the motion of equality corresponds the ideas numerical equality and proportion equality. According to numerical equality each individual is to receive numerically identical amount of benefits being distributed or the burdens imposed on the public sectors. The principle of proportional equality means that all will receive same consideration in the distributional decision but the numerical amounts distributed may differ. It demands a different and separate treatment to to those who are unequal.
