Detailed Solution

If the government decides not to promote an officer of the armed forces for being a woman, then the Right to equality will be violated. The fundamental rights enshrined in the Indian Constitution have often been referred to as the ‘conscience’ of the Constitution. Fundamental rights protect citizens against the state's absolute and arbitrary exercise of power. They guarantee the rights of individuals against the state as well as against other individuals. All persons are equal before the law. No citizen can be discriminated against based on religion, caste or sex. The state cannot discriminate against anyone in matters of employment.
