Solution
Nyaya Panchayat is based on old traditional methods. It is for the villagers to get prompt and cheap justice.
Over 3 to 5 Gram Panchayats, there is only one Nyaya Panchayat. The Nyaya Panchayat can fine a person, it cannot punish in any other way. Nyaya Panchayat can give its verdicts on petty Diwani and criminal cases. It has no right to send any body to jail.
