Paradox

Few centuries ago, a Law teacher came across a student who was willing tolearn but as unable to pay the fees. The student struck a deal saying, "Iwill pay your fee the day I win my first case in the court". Teacher agreed andproceeded with the law course. When the course was finished and teacherstarted pestering the student to pay up the fee,the student reminded him ofthe deal and pushed days. Fed up with this, the teacher decided to sue thestudent in the court of law and both of them decided to argue forthemselves.

The teacher put forward his argument saying: "If I win this case, as perThe court of law, the student has to pay me as the case is about hisnon-payment of dues. And if I lose the case, student will still pay me because he wouldhave 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 courtOf law, I don't have to pay anything to the teacher as the case is about mynon-payment of dues. And if I lose the case, I don't have to pay himbecause I haven't won my first case yet. So either way, I am not going to pay theteacher anything".

Nice paradox Right!!!!!!!!!!!
