A monkey saw that a Lion was sleeping in a zone "Reserved Only for Monkeys". There was a clear govt notification and rule in this regard. The rule further provided that if any lion found sleeping in this zone, he will be sentenced to six months jail.
The Lion has clearly violated rule. He was a trespasser in Zone Reserved only for Monkeys.
"Something must be done for benefit for all monkeys", this monkey thought.
He went near the sleeping lion and slapped him on face.
The Lion jumped up with roar. The money ran. The lion ran after monkey to catch him.
When Monkey reached near a tree, he saw a copy of newspaper Times of India lying under tree. He immediately sat down under tree, folded newspaper in front of him and hid behind newspaper, pretending as if he was engrossed in reading newspaper.
The Lion came running there. He saw some monkey reading Times of India under a tree. He asked, "Excuse me, did you see a monkey running from here?"
Without looking up from newspaper, Monkey replied,"Which monkey? The Monkey who slapped Lion?"
The Lion broke down,"Has it been published in Times of India?"
Monkey said,"Yes. It is out in New York Times also."
The Lion slumped down on Earth. His all courage had gone. He was shamed all over world as 'Lion who was slapped by a small monkey'. He was overwhelmed with sadness and sat down there.
After one hour, the monkey removed the newspaper from his face to see if the Lion had gone away. The Lion was still there. He saw the monkey and instantly killed the monkey.
The Moral of Story for Young Lawyers:
As you enter Bar, you may see many illegal things going in the world.
But do not rush to file a Public Interest Case. If the court entertains petition, you may become famous. Your name may appear in Times of India and New Your Times. You may feel victorious and famous.
But after few months, everyone will forget the case. And there may be consequences.
Avoid such things.
