📚 UPSC Prelims + GS-II Mains | High Revision Value

➖ Article 12 defines the term "State" for the purpose of enforcing Fundamental Rights. ➖ It includes the Government and Parliament of India, State Governments, State Legislatures, Local Authorities, and other authorities under the control of the Government. ➖ If any of these violate Fundamental Rights, citizens can approach the courts.
📝 UPSC Tip: Questions on whether an organisation is a "State" under Article 12 are frequently asked.
⚖️ Article 13 – Laws Inconsistent with Fundamental Rights
➖ Declares that any law violating Fundamental Rights is void to the extent of inconsistency. ➖ Forms the basis of the Doctrine of Judicial Review, empowering courts to strike down unconstitutional laws. ➖ Ensures the supremacy of the Constitution over ordinary legislation.
📝 Keyword: Judicial Review
⚖️ Article 14 – Right to Equality
➖ Guarantees Equality before Law and Equal Protection of Laws to all persons within India. ➖ Equality before Law is borrowed from the British Constitution, while Equal Protection of Laws is borrowed from the US Constitution. ➖ Allows reasonable classification, but prohibits arbitrary discrimination.

➖ Ensures equal opportunity in matters of public employment. ➖ Prohibits discrimination in government jobs based on religion, race, caste, sex, descent, place of birth, or residence. ➖ Allows reservation for backward classes, SCs, STs, and EWS where adequate representation is lacking.
📝 UPSC Focus: Frequently linked with reservation-related Supreme Court judgments.
⚖️ Article 17 – Abolition of Untouchability
➖ Abolishes the practice of untouchability in all forms. ➖ Declares its practice a punishable offence under law. ➖ Enforced through the Protection of Civil Rights Act, 1955.
📝 Significance: A landmark provision for promoting social justice and equality.
⚖️ Article 18 – Abolition of Titles
➖ Abolishes titles that create social inequality, except military and academic distinctions. ➖ Indian citizens cannot accept titles from foreign states without the President's consent. ➖ National awards such as Bharat Ratna and Padma Awards are not considered titles, as clarified by the Supreme Court.
