Discussion
Consider the statements (A) and (B) on Diwani Adalat established in 1772 in India and choose the correct answer :
(A) It was a criminal court.
(B) It was presided over by the European district collectors.
Answer: B
(A) is false, (B) is true.
Under Warren Hastings's judicial plan of 1772, each district had two courts: a criminal court (faujdari adalat) and a civil court (diwani adalat). The diwani adalat was the civil court, so statement A is false.
Statement B is true: the civil courts were presided over by the European district collectors, while the criminal courts were still under a qazi and a mufti, supervised by the collectors.
