United States wins its case whenever justice is done to one of its citizens in the courts
I am sharing withn you a copy of the letter dt. 11.12.1989 sent by Mr. Nani Palkhivala to Mr. Soli Sorabjee when he was appointed as the Attorney General of India.
"The greatest glory of Attorney General as not to win cases for the Government but to ensure that justice is done to the people"
In this behalf, he refers to the motto of the Department of Justice in the United States carved out into the Rotunda of the Attorney General Office:
“The United States wins its case whenever justice is done to one of its citizens in the courts.”
Although this had been sent to the Attorney General, the advice in the letter is applicable for lawyers representing the Government and particularly all Attorney Generals of India.
Let us hope and pray that the present Attorney General of India may also act accordingly in the interest of justice to the common citizens/ pensioners in their fag end of their lives.
