Abstract
The principles of equality are an inseparable part of any Constitution in the world. And, are a corollary to the rule of law as well. The research paper therefore seeks to see through the lens of judicial decisions at the transformation of the scope of Right to Equality enshrined under the Constitution of India. The judiciary is the guarantor of fundamental rights in India, and from time and again has expanded the scope of these rights. Therefore, it becomes imperative to look at transformative constitutionalism from the perspective of principles of equality in today’s times.
