The concepts of 'Equality before Law' and 'Equal Protection of Law' are comprised in Article 14 - Right to Equality in the Indian Constitution. While the originating concept is the same, i.e., every citizen of India is equal in all aspects, however, the two above-mentioned concepts are slightly and only subjectively different in their nature.
It has been widely agreed that "Equal protection by law" is a corollary of "Equality before Law" (Patanjali Sastri, C.J.)
"Equality before Law" ~ Basically, the State cannot deny anybody equality before the law. This is more of a restriction on the State, i.e., it will treat you or I in the same manner as it treats Mr.Narendrea Modi, or Mr. Salman Khan. No distinction on the basis of caste, creed, religion, etc. will be shown by the State in determining our rights and status before the State.
"Equal protection of Laws" ~ This is a more positive concept implying equality of treatment in equal circumstances. Equals must be treated alike is the underlying factor.
So, they are the two wings of the same bird. They fly in the same direction. Firstly, the State cannot differ between Mr. Modi and you, and in equal circumstances, and secondly, you and Mr. Modi are to be provided the same rights and protection measures by the State.
P.S. The answer is the enunciation of the law in letter and spirit and for understanding purpose only. How today's society interprets it or what is the ground reality, is totally another matter.
