THE SULTAN AND THE QUAZI

Giashuddin Azam  Shah was the ruler of Bengal. He was a kind and just ruler. He was very much fond of archery. One day when he was practicing archery, all on a sudden his arrow missed its target and pierced into the breast of a young boy who died instantly. The boy was the son of a widow. She went to the Quazi and complained against the Sultan for justice.

The Quazi called for the Sultan and asked him to compensate for the loss. Otherwise he would be punished. The Sultan satisfied the widow by giving her compensation. Then the Quazi got down from his seat and showed the Sultan due honour. He said to the Sultan, “ If you had disobeyed my order I would have beaten you with my cane” The Sultan also thanked the Quazi for his brave and true judgement. He embraced the Quazi.
