Comprehension Passage

Read the given passage carefully and answer the questions that follow

"In England justice goes to the people; in India the people had to come to justice (The litigant) had to find his way to this strange tribunal in an unknown land as best he could, in charge of the police, whose tender mercies he dreaded, or alone.

If he went alone, it was not for long. Around the Courts were swarms of petty lawyers who had their touts on the roads and in the villages. Longer he came within hail of the Court he had been fastened upon by several of these, and persuaded that his only chance of success was to put himself in their hands; say what they bade him; pay what, when, and to whom they told him; and above all, to beware of telling the truth; it would never be believed.

In those strange cases there was no common ground. What-ever one side asserted that other denied; all the witnesses were tutored; and whether true or not to begin with the case as presented on both sides was invariably concocted.

I for one came to the conclusion that nearly all, save a few of the graver cases, were episodes in some dispute not before the Court. The parties were not the real parties, but puppets of others, who remained in the back ground paying for and directing the proceedings. Most of the genuine disputes never reached our Courts at all, but were settled at some earlier stage in other ways.

While we dispensed justice as best as we could to those who carne before us, we knew that an enormous number of injured persons never came to us at all. Many were deterred by difficulties in the way, many dared not come for fear of offending the local despot, who by threats of injuries - threats which he could carry out was able to prevent them from complaining and to stop the mouths of their witness"
