Explanation:

The concept of equality before law simply means that law must be enforced and administered equally among those who are equals. The right to sue and to be sued for the same action must be the same for all subjects of the age of majority and maturity without any distinction on the grounds of race, religion, caste, social status, wealth, influence, etc. Article 14 guarantees similarity of treatment and not identical treatment through the phrase ‘equality of law’. It simply means that there is an absence of special privilege on the basis of birth or class or any such grounds that favours any subject. It also implies that everyone shall be subjected to the same jurisdiction.
