In what way was the administration of the east India company different from that of Indian rulers
Answers
British territories were broadly divided into administration units called presidencies. There were three presidencies:Bengal,Madras and Bombay. Each was ruled by a governor. The supreme head was governor-general.
From 1772, a new system of justice was established. Each district was to have two courts:– A criminal court and a civil court. Maulvis and Pandits interpreted Indian laws for the European district collectors who presided over civil courts. The criminal courts were still under a qazi and a mufti but under the supervision of the collectors.
