Judicial
Reforms of Sher Shah
 |
| Sher Shah |
Sher Shah used to say, “Justice is the most
excellent of religious rites and it is approved both by the kings of the
infidels and the faithful.” He further added, “Justice does not consist in
abstaining from oppression but in fair and honest dealing with men.” Sher Shah
practiced evenhanded justice to all without any distinction of caste and creed.
He did not spare his own relatives and nobles if they had committed any crime.
The
Emperor himself was the fountain-head of the judiciary and held his court once
in a week on every Wednesday. After him the chief Qazi was the head of the
department of justice who used to perform his duties with the help of Qazis who
were appointed in each district. Civil cases were decided by Chief Munsifs and
Munsifs in Sarkars and parganas respectively, while criminal cases were settled
by the chief Shiqdar and the Shiqdars in Sarkars and parganas respectively.
Severe punishments such as flogging, imprisonment, heavy fines and cutting off
the limbs was in practice which terrified the criminals to a great extent.
