Article 14 of the Constitution of India provides the fundamental rights of 'Equality before law' and 'Equal protection of law'. Both these rights are distinct in terms of their subjectivity.
Equality before law means that every citizen of of the country is equal in the eyes of law. The law shall not discriminate on the basis of rich and poor, privileged and underpriviledged or place birth, religion, caste and creed.
Equal Protection of Law on the other hand, works considering the Doctrine of Reasonable Classification, which means equal protection will be given to the people of similar social position. For example the protection given to the President of India is not available to any other citizen.
