la’im meant ‘bastard’ and that the word 
—kadhdhab meant ‘one who always tells lies’. These very meanings were accepted by the first court. In those days, I received the revelation from Allah the Almighty:In the case brought against me by Maulawi Karam Din at Gurdaspur, the aforesaid Karam Din insisted that the word la’im meant ‘bastard’ and that the word —kadhdhab meant ‘one who always tells lies’. These very meanings were accepted by the first court. In those days, I received the revelation from Allah the Almighty:
[We do not approve of any other meaning.]
I understood this as indicating that this interpretation would not be upheld by the second court—and so it happened. In the court of appeals, the Divisional Judge rejected all these pleas and held that the words kadhdhab and la’im were appropriate for Karam Din; rather, he was deserving of even stronger words. Thus, the Divisional Judge did not approve of the far-fetched meanings [of the terms] presented by Karam Din which had been accepted in the lower court.
See the newspaper Al-Hakam no. 17, volume 81, dated 24 May 1904 CE which carries this revelation.
