(a) Constitution of Pakistan (1973)-------Art. 25---Equal protection of law---Concept---Meaning---Reasonable classification---Scope---Principles for application of equality enumerated. Following are the principles for application of equality clause of the Constitution: (1) That equal protection of law does not envisage that every citizen is to be treated alike in all circumstances, but it contemplates that persons similarly situated or similarly placed are to be treated alike; (2) that reasonable classification is permissible but it must be founded on reasonable distinction or reasonable basis; (3) that different laws can validly be enacted for different sexes, persons in different age groups, persons having different financial standings, and persons accused of heinous crimes; (4) that no standard of universal application to test reasonableness of a classification can be laid down as what may be reasonable classification in a particular set of circumstances, may be unreasonable in the other set of circumstances; (5) that a law ,applying to one person or one class of persons may be Constitutionally valid if there is sufficient basis or reason for it, but a classification which is arbitrary and not founded on any rational basis is no classification as to warrant its exclusion from the mischief of Article 25; (6) that equal protection of law means, that all persons equally placed be treated alike both in privileges conferred and liabilities imposed; (7) that in order to make a classification reasonable it should be based:-- (a) On intelligible differentia which distinguished persons or things that are grouped together from those who have been left out; (b) that the differentia must have rational nexus to the object sought to be achieved by such classification.
