The constitutional conception of equality had, traditionally, been worked out with the help of ‘legislative classification’ “ doctrine. In 1970s, PTO. on 4 however, the Supreme Court devised the theory of ‘reasonableness or non-arbitrariness’ to instil new vigor and potency into the protection guaranteed by Article 14.

A group. G, mainly comprising of a set of castes, in state S, pleas for reservation in government services as 5 on BCs (Backward Classes of Citizens). Due to the intense agitations, sometimes violent, threatening to bring the state to the verge of political instability, the state S concedes to the demand of G. The contentions of the leaders of G are that opportunities of employment and livelihood outside the government have shrunk after the liberalization of economy. The group which traditionally depended on agriculture and petty business does no longer find the latter as a viable option after the transformation of Indian economy. Consequently poverty ration within the group is consistently increasing to the extent that a large portion of it is not able to meet even their basic needs. Within the government the opinion is divided. One section of the bureaucracy is of the opinion that extending reservation to them would violate the limits and conditions as interpreted by the Supreme Court. ‘The other section of the government holds the view that these conditions and limitations need to be re-examined in light of the fact that ‘social and economic conditions have changed’ in last three decades and also the reality that quite many groups within the classes of citizens who have so far benefited from the reservation policy, on empirical study, may not themselves qualify any more to be entitled to such facilities. ‘The Government of State § seeks your advice. we tm s Hw aH G, frat qe wi a smfrat ar aye wire @ fees ah & we A mT RTO. on G Sens orem & fee age wen ti ate ate Sar, st avast fas wt a, sit too at fae onfereen heim AR BT TBI eT, THIS, G a att at ama @1G & dat & aa gfe wen & amet them sit srstfeer saat aorren 3 sata S ae ue ma 1 st aR weMfis wr a oR ak og ora Finke ae om, ae aethe arforsen % uftady & are ara sR a us Pree & 808 arent of od) gerry, aa & tae ante a fee cman ga ae ag we fe eR TH oF Sed sect Bg as od ' War & vie wa Prnfea 21 sect & ww fed i we ca @ Re sak fet ome ager aia sie wat or seeiat at maar @ ot acta =e ant @ wef G1 weer & gRt ave a uret é fe er wal si Mion St ga wer} ware YX fer B ata at srevasa @ fis fred aia cea Y “amntae ite sift featrit % acca arn 2” sit ae ot areata @ fe af wept a ama 3 ex a st ant 1 ATT ger Ke ae sife F aatad z Se Be gfe & ewe BF fee ae a a 1 Ts S St AER aral Ta ae 2 4. The right to freedom of speech and expression 1 on conferred by Article 19 of the Indian Constitution has essentially been interpreted with the help of two ‘working principles: ‘Free market place of ideas’ and ‘imminent tendency-to cause harm’. Critically examine the sufficiency of these interpretative tools in Jight of the fact that notion of power has shifted from the ‘concentration of economic power in’few hands to the power of thought exercised through control of mass media such as press, electronics and telecom- munications. endta dire & age i9 we fq mE ATs afteats % after at-afrard wa & at ard-frerdt at aga & aren ston 8: “frat aT yw a” ait “qaar ar aro A at see wafer RTT Sea at ater: aT sree tert Safer) ge ares srearer Af aa BT ar |S eet % anffa-wiaaat werma a as dart om tifen Ba TEU, gagites agen & Pera Fare sr faq my Prat a wits Tt earrafta & 7G 21 Fe wer ST aTerrers are aif | 5.
