In the prelude it is stated that the object of the performance is to stage the course of politics to exhibit the abuses in the adminitration of justice to delineate a wicked character and to show the working of destiny through the love-story of Charudatta and Basantasena of Ujjain (8). [...] The first and the foremost is the plea of defence based on the alleged privilege of the Brahman caste and the second is the non-allowance of the ordeals. [...] Plaintiff brought this suit for recovery of damages and for a permanent injunction on the allegation that a tank called Duttaband belonged to a third party that the Defendants' land was on the north of the northern embankment of the said tank and that the Defendants' land which was high had been made low and culturable and the water of the Dattaband which overflowed the bank fell into Defendants' [...] The defence was that the bank of the Dattaband was of the same height as before that the mohana of the said tank had been silted up and the water therfore overflowed the banks and fell into Defenants' land and flowed into Plaintiff's by natural course and the Defendants were not liable for any damage. [...] Both the Courts below found that the northern bank of the Dattaband was of the same height as before and Defendants' land was not on any higher level than the bank of the tank and the water overflowed by the siltinc up of the mohana.
