Interesting Court cases.

Certain cases makes an interesting reading.

It is the dictum of lawyers to argue the facts when law is weak and argue law when facts are weak. It is only sheer legal acumen that wins a case. Lawyers need keen observation, to note finer points, to prepare the defence in several ways.

One such case happened in pre independent days. In London many Indians studied Law and practised law. Nehru, and Jinnah were famous lawyers in those days in London.

In those days there was a rule in England that none should have anything that the Queen possess. If Queen has something special no body should copy it. There was a rich man who wants to have chariot as that of the Queen. A Chariot drawn by five horses. So he made a chariot as exactly as that of the queen. The same color, the same length, the same seat the same type of horses.

When he was happily riding on the Streets of London, the guards from Buckingham palace caught hold of him and filed a case against him, the offence being he used the same chariot as that of the queen and thus denigrated the queen.

The case came up before a London Court and for the rich man , Jinnah argued. Jinnah showed the photos of two chariots one that of the Queen and another that of his client.

He argued in length that the height is the same, colour is the same, seat is the same, wheels are the same and everyone wondered whether he is arguing for his client or for the Queen.

Suddenly he showed the photos of the horses and argued that though the colour of the horses are also the same, the queen had five female horses(mares) to draw her chariot where as his clients chariot had two mares and three horses. i. e. two female horses and three male horses. So it cannot be concluded that both the chariots are same .

The Judge accepted the argument dismissed the case and allowed the rich man to ride his horse drawn chariot, to run in the streets of London.

So observation plays a key role in Life.
