Explanation:

Maharaja Ranjit SinghJudicial Administration of Maharaja Ranjit Singh had no written laws. Judicial decisions were made in accordance with customary principles. The judicial procedure was crude and simple and no distinction was made between civil and criminal cases. The settlement of disputes rested with the Panchayat, which was like an arbitration court. The decisions of the Panchayats were revised by Kardars whenever they were not accepted by either party. In towns justice was administered by Kardars who decided important cases within their jurisdiction. In the cities, cases were decided by Nazim or by important Kardars. Sometimes separate officials were appointed to do only judicial work and they were known as Adaltis. A distinct court was set up at the capital(Lahore) known as Adalat-i-Ala.
