Q.4 situations (overweight cabin crew promotion bias by gender; documentary criticising govt; dam-displaced rally; Andhra society Telugu schools outside AP) — which Fundamental Right used/violated and how?

Each of these four situations involves a different Fundamental Right, and in each case the right

is best identified by asking what specific freedom or protection is actually at stake.

An airline denying overweight female cabin crew promotion while retaining overweight male crew is a

clear case of discrimination on the ground of sex, which the Right to Equality (Articles 15 and 16)

specifically prohibits in matters like public employment -- the same physical standard is not being

applied equally to both sexes.

A journalist making a documentary that criticises government policies is exercising the freedom of

speech and expression guaranteed by Article 19(1)(a); this right specifically protects the freedom to

criticise and question those in power, which is central to a functioning democracy, though it remains

subject to reasonable restrictions such as those relating to defamation or public order.

People displaced by a dam project holding a rally to demand fair compensation are exercising the

freedom of peaceful assembly under Article 19(1)(b) -- gathering, without arms, to make a collective

political demand is exactly what this freedom protects, so long as the assembly stays peaceful.

A Telugu-speaking community outside Andhra Pradesh wanting Telugu-medium schools to preserve their

language and culture is exercising their Cultural and Educational Rights under Articles 29 and 30 --

any section of citizens with a distinct language has the right to conserve it, including through

schools of their own choice.
