It is settled principle of nature that night is followed by dawn; autumn is a passage towards spring; severe humidity is always a prediction of rain; threshold of a Court is a ray of hope for the oppressed and depressed people. The doors of Courts are never closed for the justice seekers; wherein and whenever the same are closed and supremacy of law is ignored; that society could not persist on this planet.
