Once there was a complaint at king Akbar's court. 

There were two neighbours who shared a garden. In that garden, there was a well that was owned by Iqbal khan. His neighbour who was a farmer wanted to buy the well for irrigation purposes. Therefore they signed an agreement between them, after which the farmer owned the well.

Even after selling the well to the farmer, Iqbal continued to fetch water from the well. Angered by this,  the farmer had come to get justice from  king Akbar. 


King Akbar asked Iqbal the reason for fetching water from the well even after selling it to the farmer. 

Iqbal replied that he has sold only the well to the farmer but not the water inside it. 

King Akbar wanted Birbal who was present in the court listening to the problem to solve the dispute. 

Birbal came forward and gave a solution. He said that, "Iqbal, You say that you have sold only the well to the farmer, and you say that water is yours. Then how can you keep your water inside another's well without paying the rent?" 

Iqbal's trickery was countered thus in a tricky way and the farmer got justice.
