Mohammed Ali Jinna was an eminent  lawyer in Bombay High Court  during  1914-15.

       He had robust  legal practice and was also Member of the Bombay  Legislative Assembly.

        It so happened that one wealthy plaintiff sent his case to Mr. Jinna  and showed readiness to pay a fee of Rs. 10,000 ( Ten thousand ) . Rs 10,000 was a big amount a hundred years ago. There was also a rider with the file requesting Mr. Jinna  to ask some  questions  ( Legislative Assembly Questions ) to the Government. Jinnah saw through the game of the industrialist that  he was trying to buy him in the form of giving him this case and that  the fee of Rs. 10,000 ( Ten thousand ) was actually  meant not  as a remuneration but as a reward for doing this illegal act.

       Mr. Jinnah  took great offence to the gesture of the  industrialist, took  the file of the brief in his hand, got up from his chair  went to the window overlooking the sea  ( his office was located on  Marine Lines, Bombay, and straightway  threw the file down below, saying “ If your client thinks that I can be bribed  to ask these Questions in the Assembly, he is greatly mistaken, go to hell “

        

  This incident took place in 1914.

   But India was to see a reversal of the incident after 91 years in New Delhi., in 2006.

.        Now see the travesty of fate.

         Some members of India’s  Parliament had taken money to ask some  Questions to the Government , the charges were proved and they were disqualified from the membership of the Parliament  

       The acceptors of money for asking Questions in the Parliament lost their membership of the Parliament and the one who  threw the file into the  air ,  was destined to become first Governor General  of Pakistan and later the first President of the  breakaway   country  Pakistan .
