Anuj Garg and others Vs. Hotel Association of India [2008 (3) SCC 1]
"21. When the original Act was enacted, the concept of equality between
two sexes was unknown. The makers of the Constitution intended to apply equality
amongst men and women in all spheres of life. In framing Articles 14 and 15 of
the Constitution, the constitutional goal in that behalf was sought to be
achieved. Although the same would not mean that under no circumstance,
classification, inter alia, on the ground of sex would be wholly impermissible
but it is trite that when the validity of a legislation is tested on the anvil
of equality clauses contained in Articles 14 and 15, the burden therefor would
be on the State. While considering validity of a legislation of this nature, the
Court was to take notice of the other provisions of the Constitution including
those contained in Part IV-A of the Constitution.
