Man Singh vs State Of Haryana & Ors on 1 May, 2008

20. An identical question came to be decided by the Hon'ble Apex Court in case of Man Singh Vs. State of Haryana and others AIR 2008 SC 2481 wherein it was ruled that the concept of equality as enshrined in Article 14 of the Constitution of India embraces the entire realm of State action. It would extend to an individual as well not only when he is discriminated against in the matter of exercise of right, but also in the matter of imposing liability upon him. Equal is to be treated equally even in the matter of executive or administrative action. As a matter of fact, the Doctrine of equality is now turned as a synonym of fairness in the concept of justice and stands as the most accepted methodology of a governmental action. It was also held that the administrative action should be just on the test of 'fair play' and reasonableness.
