Precedence existed in pre-Conquest times: an Anglo-Saxon document states that "in the laws of the English, people and law went by ranks." The Conquest presumably resulted in the introduction of precedence as it was practiced at the court of Normandy, just as titles and offices were imported by the victors.
House of Lords Precedence Act 1539 and the Ordinance of 1595, both of which were to a large extent codifying current practice, form the canvass of the order of precedence.

The Order is the senior order of chivalry associated with the Empire of India; the junior order is The Most Eminent Order of the Indian Empire.
The Order of the Indian Empire, founded in 1877, was intended to be a less exclusive version of the Order of the Star of India; consequently, many more appointments were made to the former than to the latter.
The Order's statutes were specially amended to permit the admission of Queen Mary as a Knight Grand Commander in 1911.

 CASTE DISCRIMINATION:
Over fifty years since India's constitutional promise of free, compulsory, primary education for all children up to the age of fourteen-with special care and consideration to be given to promote the educational progress of scheduled castes-illiteracy still plagues almost two-thirds of the Dalit population as compared to about one-half of the general population.
India's policy of "reservations" or caste-based quotas is an attempt by the central government to remedy past injustices related to low-caste status.
India's National Commission for Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes has reported that these cases typically fall into one of three categories: cases relating to the practice of "untouchability" and attempts to defy the social order; cases relating to land disputes and demands for minimum wages; and cases of atrocities by police and forest officials.

 salute
The need for a universal order of precedence became necessary, so a system based on gun salutes gradually came into vogue.
Each descending step being two guns less than the preceding rank: 21-guns, 19-guns, 17-guns, etc. Rank was loosely based on the "prestige" of the state or ruler concerned; this could be territorial size, military might, or lineage.

 Effective Enforcement and Supervision   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-05)
In England, the law provides that if the court wishes to impose both a fine and restitution (a "compensation order") but the offender apparently lacks the means to pay both, the court shall issue a compensation order only.
In Scotland, the law provides that where both a fine and a compensation order have been imposed on an offender for the same crime or for different crimes but in the same proceedings, the enforcement of the compensation order takes precedence.
In India, the code of criminal procedure has, since 1973, provided for the possibility that the court can order the whole or any part of the fine imposed on the offender to be paid to the victim.

 Annex 1: Transboundary water allocations
Order of precedence for uses: domestic and sanitary; navigation; power and irrigation.
India was to reduce flow from upper Indus basin rivers progressively, to allow Pakistan to "develop areas where water is scarce and which were under-developed in relation to Parts of West Punjab." Pakistan agreed to pay for some water sources.
Arbitration for this project led to an important international precedent when a Tribunal ruled in 1957 that "territorial sovereignty...must bend before all international obligations," effectively negating the water rights doctrine of "absolute sovereignty," while admonishing downstream state from the right to veto "reasonable" upstream development, negating the "natural flow" principle.
