An illiterate judge of history, Justice Baba Kharak Singh.
Baba Kharak Singh was the uncle of the Maharaja of Patiala. He owned a long and wide estate.
Tired of the monopoly of feudalism, he said to his nephew one day, "The seat of the Sessions Judge is vacant in your city.
(During this period, the English Viceroy used to issue orders for the chair of Sessions Judge)
You write a holiday in the name of Mr. Lot and I will bring the permit of the Sessions Judge. "
An illiterate judge of history, Justice Baba Kharak Singh. |
After sealing the leave from the Maharaja, the uncles appeared before Lot Sahib.
The viceroy asked: Name
Said Kharak Singh
Education ?
They said: Why the government?
Have I brought an order to teach children at a school?
The viceroy laughed and said:
Sir! The teaching of the law is asked, after all you have to distinguish between good and bad, you have to leave the good, you have to punish the bad.
Kharak Singh growled his mustache and said, "Government, why do you need donkey-weight books for such a thing?"
The viceroy wondered who was now entangled with the Maharaja and the Maharaja's uncles. Received the application and issued the order. Now Kharak Singh became Justice Kharak Singh and came to Patiala.
By the power of God, the first case of murder came in the court of Justice Kharak Singh.
On one side, four killers were standing in a cage, on the other side, a weeping woman was wiping tears with a headscarf hanging around her neck.
Justice Kharak Singh took a good look at the people standing on both sides before sitting on the chair.
The police officer went ahead, put some papers in front of Justice Kharak Singh and said,
My Lord! The woman is a revolutionary and she says that all four of them have killed her husband in front of her eyes.
Why me Justice Kharak Singh did not even listen to the police officer and started asking the woman how he had beaten her.
The woman said, the government standing on the right had a spear in its hand, the middle one had brought several and the other two had sticks in their hands. All four of them suddenly came out of the hailstorm and started beating and these tyrants killed the crown of my head.
Justice Kharak Singh frowned and looked at the four accused angrily and said why did you kill the servant?
No, I didn't have a shovel in my hand.
One accused said.
The second accused said: Sir, I did not have a spear, a sickle was tied in front of a stick, cutting branches from a berry tree.
Justice Kharak Singh said, "Come on, whatever was in your hands is dead!"
But, sir, our intention was not to kill or injure him, said the third accused.
Justice Kharak Singh put the bundle of papers in front of him and was about to write the verdict when suddenly a man in a black coat got up from the court chair and came forward and said, "My Lord, listen to the full details." My clients went to his land just to explain it.
By the way, even that land has not yet been transferred to the name of the deceased from his dead father, he had only sticks in his hands, where are the sticks, they were broken sugarcane.
... one minute ....
Justice Kharak Singh stopped the black coat wearer and called the police officer and asked who is this black coat wearer.
The government is the lawyer, the accused's lawyer is cleaning, the police officer said.
In other words, he also became the servant of those who speak on his behalf. Kharak Singh ordered the lawyer to stand here with the killers.
He talked so much and wrote a one-line decision on a bundle of papers and signed it.
Justice Kharak Singh had written a verdict that four murderers and a fifth his lawyer, five should be hanged.
There is a tremor in Patiala, O children, Kharak Singh has come who hangs the lawyer along with the killer.
It is said that as long as Kharak Singh remained a session judge, there were very few murders in Patiala state.
