HARISH TANDON, CJ.
1. The respondents in the instant appeal have been knocking
the doors of the Court in pursuit of justice founded upon the
concept of equality and the fraternity amongst the homogeneous
class, yet their claim for the right on equalities is a far cry. Some of
the similarly circumstanced persons, who had approached the
Court flagging the identical and the similar issues, received the just
justice, yet the respondents are thriving for an equality right and
equal treatment before the Court of law. It is no gainsaying that the
adherence of rule of equality in a public employment is conceded
as a basic feature of our Constitution as the certainty is a virtue.
The primary object perceived by our forefathers while giving the
Constitution is to bring an equality amongst the citizens of the
country and equal treatment in juxtaposition with the rule of law
and in this regard, the doctrine of equality is, in effect, the heart
and soul of the Constitution.
