Answer

(a) In this situation, Right to Equality is being violated on the ground of discrimination
whereas nobody should be discriminated under the Right to Equality on behalf of Caste,
Sex, Religion, Race, etc.
(b) In the second situation the Right to Freedom of Speech and Expression is being used.
(c) People displaced by a big dam take out a rally demanding rehabilitation. Though our
Constitution grants right to reside and settle in any part of India in the Right to Freedom.
But people have Right to Freedom of speech and expression also. In this case, the
government can impose some restrictions to maintain law and order.
(d) This case refers to the rights of linguistic minorities to set up their own educational
institutions to preserve their culture. Hence, Andhra Pradesh can enjoy the right to run
Telugu medium schools outside Andhra Pradesh.
