#1 bad cases make bad law.

#2 But they knew this... the Moguls had courts, as did the British Raj. It was never permissible for "police" (whatever they were called) to summarily kill someone.

When the British left, there was a legacy of English jurisprudence and independent courts, a working civil administration, efficient police, a non-political army obedient to the civil administration.
