"Equal justice" means a justice administered in the same way based on the earlier settled law in the Country, or what is called the precedent prevailing.

Almost all Country provides for "equality before law" and equal protection of law". Obviously, therefore, no Citizen can be arbitrarily discriminated in the same set of circumstances.

Indian Constitution provides "equality clause" under Article 14 of the Constitution. It says, there shall be equality of opportunity to every Citizen. No citizen of the Country, similarly placed, should be discriminated, provided they are similarly circumstanced.
