Give a reason for your choice.
1 : The situation of the aunt in Jumman’s house changed. Earlier she was being taken care of but things changed and she was ill-treated.
2 : She suggested that she get a monthly allowance from Jumman as she could not handle the insult any more. She wanted to cook separately.
3 : The villager’s gave mixed reactions. Some sympathized with her, some laughed at her and some others said that she should try to make up with Jumman and his wife.
4 : Jumman was happy over Algu’s nomination as head Panch because Algu was his friend and he knew that he would not give a judgement that went against him.
5 : She meant to remind Algu that Panch holds a position equal to God so he should never be biased. He should be just and fair.
6 : Algu gave a verdict that shocked Jumman. He asked Jumman to pay a monthly allowance to his aunt. Jumman was very upset at this judgement and he began to consider Algu as his enemy.
7 : Algu had sold a bullock to Sahu. Sahu had promised that he would pay for the bullock in a month. But the bullock died within a month.
Algu found himself in a tight spot because Sahu refused to pay money for the bullock as it died.
8 : Algu was upset over Jumman’s nomination as head Panch because he was certain that Jumman would take revenge of the judgement that Algu has given earlier.
9 : When Jumman was made the head Panch, he thought for a while if he should take revenge. But he realized that he was sitting in the position of a Panch. He had to be unbiased. Jumman’s verdict was that Sahu should pay Algu the amount of the bullock.
Algu was extremely happy at the verdict. He began to shout that it was the victory of the Panchayat.
10 : In my opinion, “Let no one deviate from the path of justice and truth for friendship or enmity” sums up the story the best as it clearly shows why Jumman and Algu were not able to give wrong verdicts being at the position of Panch. Justice should always prevail.
