DELHI HIGH COURT
PRADEEP NANDRAJOG, MOOL CHAND GARG
Govt. of NCT of Delhi – Appellant
Versus
Jai Bhagwan – Respondent
JUDGMENT
Mool chand Garg, J.
1. We preface our decision by noting the argument of learned counsel for the petitioners, being that so reprehensible is the conduct of the respondents, who have been caught literally with their pants down of accepting bribe that this Court ought to extend no benefit to the respondents. It was urged that law has to be interpreted, in the instant case, keeping in view the grave misdemeanour of the respondents. In other words, the counsel for the petitioners urged that the respondents are not entitled to any hearing. The argument is emotional and is rejected at the outset for the reason a system governed by the rule of law requires dispute resolution as per law. The submission made by learned counsel for the petitioners can be best repelled by noting a dialogue between Sir Thomas More on the one side and his daughter Margret and his son-in-law Roper in the play "A Man For All Seasons" by Robert Bolt. It refers to an incident when Sir Thomas More was urged by his daughter, Margaret, and his son-in- law, Roper, to arrest a man they regarded as evil. The dialogue is as under:
Margaret: "Father, that man's bad."
More: "There is no law against that."
