Akbar founded a new religion called Din-i-Ilahi. It meant ‘religion of one god’. The main idea of this religion was to establish a religious order which would be acceptable to all communities and promote universal brotherhood and unity. Its main feature was to believe in one god. The Din-i-Ilahi ended with Akbar’s death.

Though Akbar was illiterate, he was a patron of Literature and art. He encouraged poetry and patronized many poets. He also had the Ramayana and the Mahabharta translated in Persian. He constructed Karkhanas or workshops. Akbar was a great ruler; He laid the foundation of a secular state based on the principles of religious tolerance and universal brotherhood.

So we can conclude that Akbar did all that which could increase harmony and peace and could decrease violence. If all the people in this world would have the same thinking then this world would be a heaven to live in and if today’s situation is not controlled then the human race would be wiped out from the earth.

SUPREME COURT JUDGEMENTS

In the High Court of Delhi, in CCP No. 126 of 2002 decided on 23/07/2008 in re: SURINDER PAL SINGH vs U.O.I. it was held that the petitioner was supplied the statements of all those witnesses who were to depose against him and the petitioner was also supplied statements of witnesses recorded under Sec.108 of the Customs Act. However, in the Customs Cargo office, the record of statements under Sec.108 of the Customs Act was not traceable at that time and a non-availability certificate was issued in this regard. It seems later on when the contempt notice was issued more efforts were made to trace statements under Sec.108 of the Customs Act and two were found and supplied to the petitioner. The petitioner has not stated how the non-availablity of these statements caused prejudice to him or there was any malafide intentions on the part of the respondent in not supplying these statements or that these statements were so vital for the petitioner’s defence. The Judge found that there was no deliberate violation of the order passed by the Court and no case for contempt was made out against the respondent. The petition was without any basis and was thereby dismissed.
