A LAW STORY
An Interesting Case in History...........
Few centuries ago, a Law teacher came across a student who was
willing to learn but was unable to pay the fees. The student struck a
deal saying, "I will pay your fee the day I win my first case in the
court". Teacher agreed and proceeded with the law course.
When the course was finished and teacher started pestering the
student to pay up the fee, the student reminded him of the deal and
pushed days. Fdd up with this, the teacher decided to sue the student
in the court of law and both of them decided to argue for themselves.
The teacher put forward his argument saying:
"If I win this case, as per the court of law, the student has to pay
me as the case is about his non-payment of dues. And if I lose the
case,student will still pay me because he would have won his first case. So
either way I will have to get the money".
Equally brilliant student argued back saying:
"If I win the case, as per the court of law, I don't have to pay
anything to the teacher as the case is about my non-payment of dues.
And if I lose the case, I don't have to pay him because I haven't won my
first case yet.So either way, I am not going to pay the teacher
anything".
This is one of the greatest paradoxes ever recorded in history.
