c8.28
The sovereignty of the Law was, by no means, a legal fiction. The sultans of Dehlī, on the whole showed a remarkable respect for the shar‘ in their public dealings.⁷ There are few glaring violations on record, while there are numerous instances of mighty sultans humbling themselves before the majesty of the Law. Even in cases of tyranny, the semblance of legality was generally observed. Muḥammad bin Tughluq
