True, vegetable plants have life. But do we look at plants as if they are truly living persons?

A lawyer named B.K.Mehta used to practise as an advocate in Bhavnagar District Court.

He used believe that one can receive lots of blessings of Gods if one can keep some plants and water them daily.

This was his faith. However there is no scientific evidence that one become blessed if one worships and waters few plants daily. There are no experiments made to find out.

One day, he came from Bhavnagar to High Court in Ahmedabad and argued a case. The Judge noticed something in this lawyer. He was invited to become a Judge of Gujarat High Court. (Till today, he is the only advocate of a District Court who was invited by High Court for judgeship from a small District Court. All such selections are made from High Court advocates only, to the best of my knowledge)

Later, he became Chief Justice of Gujarat High Court. After his retirement he came to practise as Senior Advocate in Supreme Court. Here, I met him. He told me about his faith in plants.

He had continued practice of maintaining and watering few plants everyday till his last.

 If you are Landlord, you may want your tenant to vacate your house. But what will you do if tenant files a Child Abuse case against you alleging that you touched her little daughter at wrong places? How will you prove that you are innocent and you did nothing, this is false case?

The girl will say in court that once when his parents were away, you touched her. Her Mother will say that as soon as she came, her daughter told this story and she filed complaint. The small girl will be tutored by her parents to give a false deposition in court.

If you will tell court that, “Sir, I asked tenant to vacate my house. Therefore he has filed this false case through her daughter.”

The Judge will reply, “Oh, Yah, so to evict your tenant, you started abusing their girl! What a bad man you are! You must be given maximum punishment.”

Now how will you prove that this is false case? The mere filing of complaint will ruin your reputation. The only way out could be to submit to blackmail of tenant.

There may be many such false cases filed for many wrong motives.

The people are already reeling under abuse of 498A Cases. They will now also complain about abuse of child abuse cases.
