Equality of opportunity for all citizens

Equality of opportunity for all citizens, Clause (1) of Article 16 clearly provides for equality of opportunity to all citizens in the services under the State. It is important to note that the Constitution uses the words 'equality of opportunity for all citizens.' This inherently implies that the opportunity must be given not only to a particular section of the society or a particular class of citizens who may be advanced or otherwise more affluent but to all classes of citizens. This, therefore, can be achieved by making a reasonable classification so that every class of citizens is duly represented in the services which will enable equality of opportu-nity to all citizens. The classification, however, must be a reasonable one and must fulfil the following conditions:(i) it must have a rational basis;(ii) it must have a close nexus with the object sought to be achieved;(iii) it should not select any person for hostile discrimination at the cost of others, State of Kerala v. N.M. Thom...

In all respects

In all respects, means in a contract, by the owner of a park, allowing the car owners to park their cars in the private property of the park-owner, he stipulated that he would not be responsible for the safe custody of any cars or articles therein nor for any damage to the cars or articles, however caused, nor for any injuries to any persons, all cars being left in all respect entirely at their owners.The expression 'in all respects' was interpreted wide enough to show that whatever might be done with regard to that car, the owner took the risk of its happening or of its being done. The position, therefore, would be that he should not hand over the car to any body but the true owner, and if the servant in the performance of the duty performs it negligently, and, acting under a misapprehension which a little more care might have prevented, hands over the car to the wrong person, that is one of the risks which on the true construction of documents, the car-owner took, Asbhy v. Tolhurst, ...
