{'karachi session': [0, 0, 2, 1], 'lahore session': [0, 0, 2, 2], 'calcutta session': [1, 0, 4, 2], 'lucknow session': [0, 1, 0, 0], 'equality': [1, 0, 0, 3], 'session': [1, 0, 0, 0], 'congress': [0, 1, 0, 0], 'caste': [1, 0, 0, 1], 'resolution': [6, 0, 3, 9], 'sex': [4, 2, 1, 1], 'law': [0, 0, 0, 1]}

The resolution stating that "there should be equality before law irrespective of caste, creed or sex" was passed in the Karachi Session of the Congress in 1931.

Option 1: The Calcutta Session in 1906 is not the correct answer because it took place before the resolution was passed.

Option 2: The Lucknow Session in 1916 is also not the correct answer because it took place before the resolution was passed.

Option 3: The Lahore Session in 1929 is not the correct answer either because although it is closer in time to the resolution`s passing, it still occurred before it.

Option 4: The answer provided is correct. The resolution promoting equality before the law was indeed passed in the Karachi Session of the Congress in 1931.

To summarize, the resolution that emphasized equality regardless of caste, creed, or sex was passed during the Karachi Session of the Congress in 1931.
