---------------------------------------------------------------------------- It is of interest to note that while some dolphins are reported to have learned English -- up to fifty words used in correct context -- no human being has been reported to have learned dolphinese. -Carl Sagan (1934-1996) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ravi said : you are ill informed. The second I find it rather hypocritical, that you abuse the Muslims but see no shame in accepting his money. ============================================================================ ======= Please do not level false allegations. I have been criticising, not abusing. Kindly mind your words. ============================================================================ ============== As a Hindu you will never have occasion to be tried or participate in an Islamic or Sharia court. ============================================================================ ============ You go wrong here. I was a prime witness in a monetary litigation filed by one muslim against another. Since I prepared the whole case submissions, my witness held the key to the whole case. The plaintiff and the defendants were both Arabs, palestinian muslims. The jurisdiction was Abudhabi and hence the case was heard in Abu dhabi sharia court. The sum involved was $175,000/-. Minor witnesses, in all two, were given hearings, who both were Indian Christians, one a Manglorean ( he still works with me) and the other Tamil. Their explanation in the court did not do much good to the case, for they both had little role in the case matter. When my turn came in the hearing, all hopes were hinged on me. The prosecution lawyer pointed out to the judge (Qazi) that I was neither a Muslim nor a person belonging to the faiths mentioned in the Book and hence I could not be expected to swear by Quran or Bible or Torah and hence he did not believe I could speak the truth. To help my boss who was the complinant, I also went to the extent to say that although I am Hindu, I was prepared to swear by Quran, if that was acceptable. But on hearing this request of mine from the official translator, the judge made faces which I haven't yet forgotten and thus I was not allowed by the court to give evidence, proof or any explanation of any kind whatsoever. Within minutes, then the case was over and our boss lost his rightful money, while I felt indignation. The plaintiff was Sun Engineering, the defendant was architect Hisham Hussaini, jurisdiction was the Emirate of Abudhabi and the court was Abudhabi Sharia. The year was 1986 or there about. Your explanation is not valid in a case when both the sides at dispute are Muslims and the case is in Sharia court and the witness happens to be non-Muslim, non-christian, non-Jew. Hope you will do good homework and abhor writing something which misleads members, most of whom are not from this region. ============================================================================ ============== fone of teh partie sina litigation is non muslim teh case will never make ============================================================================ ========= Kindly either correct the above sentence and re-send or explain the meaning. There appears to be some mistake there. ============================================================================ =================== Rohit Zaveri. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ To join/leave, use the form at: http://www.mumbai-central.com/nukkad/#options This list is archived at: http://www.mumbai-central.com/nukkad/archive.html
