What is the main condition for reasonable classification not being treated as against equality?
Correct answer: A
Direct answer: Option A, classification must have a rational link with the objective. Equality does not forbid every distinction. It forbids arbitrary distinctions that have no fair reason. Step by step: an authority first identifies a legitimate objective; it creates a classification using a clear basis; that basis must meaningfully relate to the objective; people in the relevant group are then treated according to the lawful measure; therefore a rational connection is the key condition. Option A is correct because it prevents random or hidden discrimination while allowing reasonable classification. Option B is wrong because classification based only on birth can reproduce inherited inequality and is not automatically reasonable. Option C is wrong because secrecy does not make a classification fair or rational. Option D is wrong because giving titles is not the general legal test and may itself create arbitrary privilege. A classification must also use an intelligible basis and must not be a disguised way to favour one group without justification. Memory cue: ask two questions—what is the objective, and does the classification logically help achieve it?
If the Prime Minister and an ordinary citizen commit the same offence, what will the principle of equality demand?
Correct answer: A
The Right to Equality means that every person, including the Prime Minister, is equal before the law and is subject to the same legal process. Holding a high office does not create a special exemption for an offence. Option B contradicts this principle. Exam tip: equality before law means that no person is above the law.
