c10.s1.2

According to the ancient political ideal, which both the Hindus and the Muhammadans accepted, the Sovereign is the fountain of justice, and it is his duty to try cases personally in open court. The Mughal Emperors acted up to this ideal, and we possess contemporary accounts, written by Court historians and European travellers alike, as to the manner in which they dispensed justice.
