6.3.2. Description

6.3.2.1. Equality before Law

♤ This implies that all citizens are equal in the eyes of law. It means that-

o There will be absence of any special privileges in favour of any person,

o There will be equal subjection of all persons to the ordinary law of the land administered by ordinary law courts,

o There will be no person above the law, whether rich or poor, high or low, official or non-official.

♤ It has been borrowed from the British tradition.

♤ It is negative in its orientation as the State is restricted from making any discrimination between two citizens.
