What this means

The index files this text under article 14 of the Constitution of India.
The passage runs to about 34 words.
Read plainly, it mentions equality and non-discrimination — it requires equal treatment or forbids discrimination (the words used: “equal”).

The row’s stored title is a body fragment, not a heading (“The State shall not deny to any person equality”), so it is not used as the provision’s title here.

The index gives this passage an article number but stores a body fragment where a heading would be, so the number could not be cross-checked against the text. Check it against the official Constitution before relying on it in a citation.

This is a mechanical reading aid generated from the text above by matching words in it. It is not legal advice, not a lawyer’s interpretation, and not a substitute for the provision itself.
