-- Article 15 -- the word "residence" is
omitted from the opening clause prohibiting
discrimination on specified grounds. Clauses
(3) and (4) of Article 16 dilute the rigour of
clause (2) by (i) conferring an enabling
power on Parliament to make a law
prescribing the residential requirement within
the State in regard to a class or classes of
employment or appointment to an office
under the State, and (ii) by enabling the State
to make a provision for the reservation of
appointments or posts in favour of any
backward class of citizens which is not
adequately represented in the services under
the State. The newly introduced clauses (4-A)

embargo laid down in Article 16(2) in
somewhat absolute terms is lifted to meet

"residence" apart from the "place of birth" and the Apex Court
has clarified that the distinction has been made by the makers of

not synonyms to the expression 'domicile' and they reflect two
