    Solution

    Article 14 permits the State to make reasonable classifications, provided the classification has a rational basis and is not arbitrary. The test for reasonable classification, established in AIR v. Rajasthan (1963) 1 SCR 191, requires: (1) intelligible differentia, (2) rational relation to the object sought. This allows for differential treatment based on legitimate grounds. [Citation: Article 14, Constitution of India; AIR v. Rajasthan (1963) 1 SCR 191]
