Explanation:
Judicial system in Mughal India
=The Mughals played a very significant role in the judiciary system in India. They
brought new changes in judiciary system and gave a great impact on judiciary system in
India. I W ahed Husain points out that judicial system of Mughal India has full influence in
the present judiciary system in India with some changes. He quotes J.N Sarkar by
referring that "Thus the Mughal System at one time spread over practically all the
civilized and organized parts oflndia."2 He further evaluates and points out the general
features of the Mughal Administration which is following;
First, a strong and well-organized Government contributing to peace and order,
Secondly, a highly centralized form of government with an extensive administrative
machinery,
Thirdly, an age of Renaissance in Art and literature,
Fourthly, An empire of unity in which different racial elements were more or less
reconciled and contributed their skill, ability and wisdom to make the government
prosperous.3 However Wahed Husain's characterization of the Mughal period can be
contested .4
Ibn Hasan or ,a noted historian of Mughal India ,points out that the duties of a Muslim
KingS in an Islamic State6 require him to rule in accordance with the Quranic law and to
enforce Shariah in his kingdom .He says that under Muslim king the subjects were
divided into two sections,belivers and non believers, and was imposed a duty upon the
King to see that believers lived as true Muslims and non believers remained in the
position allotted to them as Zimmis, a position which denied them equal status with
Muslim subjects but guarantees security oflife and property and the continuance of their
religion and religious practices under certain defined conditions. 7 Therefore a Muslim
king besides performing the ordinary duties connected with his office,had also to uphold
the dignity of his religion through defined channels and to rule according to Islamic law.8
The second aspect of the Islamic system which guarantees peace and security of life and
prosperity to non-believers includes impartial justice, and this aspect of kingship was
emphasized byu Balban as well as by Bughra khan. 9 It was emphasized by Muslim
jurist ,and in matters of justice they treated both sections of subjects as equal in the law's
eye. "Justice and Beneficence must be exercised alike for all subjects .The king is the
shadow of God and gift of divine mercy is common to both believers and non-
believers .A king must curtail the hand of oppressor upon the weak because the prophet
says, 'the cry of a victim of injustice even if he be a kafir is never rejected by God' 10
U.N. Day, a noted historian on Mughal government viewed the exposition of the
muslim jurists involved three aspects:
First, that the primary duty of the monarch was to administer justice;
Second, that the law that was to be administered was to be based on the Shariat that is the
Islamic law ;
Third, that the judicial system could comprehend only the believers as the people or
subjects with which the state was concerned. 11
