Abstract
Justice is one of the main societal values which construct a society. The very structure of the society is governed by the law and order. But frequently the revered legal system fails pathetically to conduct a fair play. Though in theory there are various moralities and promises to serve all with equality but many a times human emotions and genuinity are considered irrelevant and proves that law is indeed blind in its exact meaning. In the chosen short stories the truth has been overshadowed by facts and law is stretched to any extent to suit the changing interest of the powerful. This paper shows how logic creates opacity and strangely prevents us to see the truth and differentiate the right from the wrong.
