Baba Kharak Singh was the uncle of the Maharaja of Patiala. He owned a long and wide estate.
Tired of the uniformity of feudalism, one day he told his nephew that the seat of Sessions Judge was vacant in his city.
(During this period, the English Viceroy used to order the chair of the Sessions Judge)
You write a holiday in the name of Mr. Lot and I will bring the permit of the Sessions Judge.
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! Asked to teach law.
After all you have to distinguish between good and bad. The good have to be forsaken and the bad have to be punished.
Kharak Singh growled his mustache and said, “Government, why do you need donkey-weight books for such a thing? I have been doing this in the Panchayat for years and
I can distinguish between good and bad at a glance.
The viceroy wondered who was now entangled with the Maharaja and the Maharaja’s uncles who had recommended him. 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 assassins were standing in a cage, on the other side, a weeping woman was wiping tears from her head.
Justice Kharak Singh took a good look at the people standing on both sides before sitting on the chair.
In the meantime, the police officer went ahead, placed some papers in front of Justice Kharak Singh and said.
My Lord! This woman is a revolutionary corps and her
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-speaking government that stands on the right.
He had a spear in his 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 other accused said, “Sir, I did not have a spear. I tied a sickle to a stick.”
She was cutting branches from a berry tree.
Justice Kharak Singh said, “Come on, whatever was in your hand is dead!”
But, sir, our intention was not to kill or injure him, said the third accused.
Justice Kharak Singh handed over the pile of papers 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.”
These clients of mine went to his land just to explain it.
By the way, that land is still in the name of the deceased
They didn’t even move, they only had sticks in their hands, even the sticks where they were broken sugarcane.
… one minute ….
Justice Kharak Singh stopped the man in black coat and called the police officer and asked him
Who is wearing a black coat?
The government is the lawyer of the accused, said the cleaning police officer.
In other words, he also became the servant of those who speak on his behalf. Kharak Singh ordered the lawyer to stand there with the killers.
He talked so much and signed a one-line decision on a bundle of papers.
Justice Kharak Singh had written a verdict that four murderers and a fifth his lawyer should be hanged.
In Patiala, Kharat Singh, who was killed in a stampede, has come and hangs the lawyer along with the killer.
It is said that as long as Kharak Singh was the Sessions Judge, the number of murders in Patiala State has decreased.
Along with the killers, if their lawyers start getting death sentences, it will not take long for the crime rate to come down to zero.
