Children, women, and the socially and educationally backward classes, there is a provision for 'reservations' in jobs and in admissions. Some people have wondered whythere are reservations if we follow the principle of equality.
In fact Article 16(4) of the constitution explicity clarifies that a policy like resevagioon will not be seen as a violation of right to equality. If we try to find out the spirit of the constitution, this is required for the fulfilment of the right to equality of opportunity.
Article 16(4) Nothing in this article shall prevent the state from making any provision for the reservation of appointments or posts in favour of only backward class of citizens which in the opinion of the state, is not adequately represented in the services under the state.

Moral rights are those rights which are related to our ethical sense of life. Such rights do not have the backing of the law behind them. It is the moral sense that recognise these moral rights. Children have the moral right to be looked after by their parents, have the moral right to seek assistance from their grown up children.
If moral rights are violated no legal action is taken. But if legal rights are violated legal action may follow.
A legal right is a right recognised by the state; it is in a way the product of law. As such a legal right is always enforceable. We can be helped by the police and courts for enjoyment of our legal rights.
