The Golden Triangle of the Constitution of India is a term used to describe the
fundamental rights enshrined in Articles 14, 19, and 21 of the Indian Constitution.
These articles are considered the most important and interdependent provisions of the
Constitution and form the cornerstone of Indian democracy.

Article 14 of the Indian Constitution guarantees the right to equality before the law
and equal protection of the laws to all persons. It prohibits discrimination on the
grounds of religion, race, caste, sex or place of birth. This means that every person in
India is entitled to equal protection of the law and equal treatment under the law,
regardless of their background or social status.

Article 19 of the Indian Constitution guarantees certain freedoms to all citizens, such
as the freedom of speech and expression, the freedom to assemble peacefully, the
freedom to form associations or unions, the freedom to move freely throughout the
territory of India, and the freedom to practice any profession or carry on any trade,
business or occupation.

Article 21 of the Indian Constitution guarantees the right to life and personal liberty to
all persons. It ensures that no person shall be deprived of their life or personal liberty
except according to the procedure established by law.

These three articles together form the Golden Triangle of the Indian Constitution,
which is essential to protect the fundamental rights of citizens and ensure that justice
is served. The three articles are interdependent and cannot be interpreted in isolation.
For example, the right to equality under Article 14 cannot be achieved without the
freedom of speech and expression guaranteed by Article 19. Similarly, the right to life
and personal liberty under Article 21 is dependent on the protection of equal rights
and freedoms under Article 14 and Article 19.

SECTION 6. Relevancy of facts forming part of same transaction.
