c10.s2.10
Some men demand punishment for murderers, others complain of injustice and violence or other such like wrongful acts....The king ordains with arrogance, and in few words, that the thieves be beheaded, that the governors and *faujdars* compensate the plundered travellers....In some cases he announces that there is no pardon for the transgressor, in others he orders the facts to be investigated and a report made to him.” (*Storia*, ii. 462.)
