Assume a situation where A has gone to a cinema hall with her friends to watch a movie. In the next seat she realises that it is her maid who is also watching the movie.
Now A asks her maid to leave the cinema hall.
In the above scenario, which of the following Article of the Constitution of India can provide relief to the maid?

Correct option is B

The correct answer is (b) Article 15.
• Article 15 of the Constitution of India prohibits discrimination on grounds of religion, race, caste, sex, or place of birth. This article ensures that every individual is treated equally and not discriminated against in public spaces or in access to public amenities.
• In the scenario described, A's action of asking her maid to leave the cinema hall solely based on her perceived social status or occupation can be seen as a form of discrimination. Article 15 would provide relief to the maid by ensuring her right to equal treatment and non-discrimination in public spaces.
Facts to Remember:
• Article 15: Prohibits discrimination on grounds of religion, race, caste, sex, or place of birth.
• Article 16: Ensures equality of opportunity in matters of public employment.
• Article 17: Abolishes "untouchability" and forbids its practice in any form.
• Article 18: Abolishes titles except military and academic distinctions.
