ROLE OF VILLAGE PANCHAYTHS IN THE ADMINISTRATION OF JUSTICE IN COLONIAL MALABAR

Dr. R. Sajan

Abstract :

This paper explores the traditional role of Panchayaths in the administration of justice in colonial Malabar. The enlightened neo–imperialist Thomas Munro recognized the necessity and importance of the Indians in the administration of justice and Indianization of the institutions. The main aim of his system was immediately good government and ultimately self–government. By regulation IV of 1816, the head inhabitant’s of the villages were declared to be Munsiffs in their respective villages. The court of directors decided the Panchayath should be a part of the judicial system. His role to incorporate the Panchayaths as part of the government machinery to administer justice was remarkably well for the future legal development in Malabar.
