Difference between Article 14 and Article 15
edit1} Article 14 states that no person should be treated unequally within the territory of Indian Prohibition before the law on the basis of religion, race, caste, sex or place of birth whereas Article 15 of the constitution expresses that no individual should be segregated on the basis of religion, race, station, sex or place of birth. Each individual might have right to access to public spots like public parks, historical centers, wells, showering ghats and sanctuaries and so forth. Be that as it may, the State may make any unique arrangement for ladies and kids. Special arrangements might be made for the progressions of any socially or instructively backward class.[1]
2} Article 15 is considered as a particular aspect or feature of Article 14. This indicates that Article 14 is a broader concept whereas Article 15 is a specific concept.
3} Article 14 grants right to equality to all persons citizen or non-citizen against the arbitrary action on the part of the state. Article 15 on the other hand prohibit the discrimination on grounds of religion, race, caste, sex or place of birth among citizens only. This states that no other citizen can claim this right under Article 15(1).
4} It is notable that any classification on these grounds only will not be reasonable classification under Article 14, therefore if a legislation is volatile of Article 15, then it cannot be saved on the ground of reasonable classification which is the underlying principle of Article 14.
