Article 14 Can't Be Invoked to Repeat Illegality Committed in Favour of Someone: Supreme Court
The Supreme Court ruled that Article 14, which guarantees the right to equality, cannot be used to repeat an illegality committed in favor of someone. The court clarified that any illegal benefit given to an individual cannot be cited as a precedent to seek similar relief. This ruling reinforces the principle that the right to equality under Article 14 does not protect or justify illegal actions. The decision aims to prevent the misuse of Article 14 and ensure that legal rights are upheld without perpetuating illegality. The judgment underscores the importance of adhering to legal principles and procedures, maintaining the rule of law.
