(Translation furnished in court by the learned Solicitor General) An unsuccessful appeal and an unrewarding revision ensued. The High Court hortatively told the Union of India that the law is the King of Kings and, admonished in high-sounding style-
that the state functionaries should atleast after 28 years of the functioning of the Constitution and rule of law in this country, realise understand and literally and faithfully implement the judicial pronouncement by showing respect to law. All the officers, the citizens in general, the litigants and the State functionaries in all seriousness should keep the following eternal saying of the great jurist Maharshi Manu as uppermost in our mind, i.e. 'Law is the King of Kings-far more rigid and powerful than they, there is nothing higher than law; and by its powers the weak shall prevail over the strong and justice shah triumph'. I wish this should not only be exhibited as the guide lines in all Government offices, important public institutions, street-corners and road corners but acts upon both in letter and spirit by all irrespective of the office, profession, status and assignment which one holds in life.
