Intro
We all know that MGA and his family were above the law in British-India. They could do no wrong in the eyes of the British. MGA always got a chair in court, whereas his opponents were made to stand. The British even gave MGA’s father a hefty pension for fighting and killing Muslims in the 1857 war of independence. Nonetheless, there is an entry in Seeratul Mahdi wherein Mirza Bashir Ahmad briefly explains the court cases of MGA. The most important one was the Karam-din case of defamation. The post office case is mentioned here also (see the ROR of Aug-1939).
