In the story, Jumman and Algu were friends; the best of friends indeed. Jumman had an old aunt. She was in a dispute with him over the issue of the transfer of her property. The old lady took the argument to the village panchayat to end the daily fights. Jumman was pretty sure that he would win, because of the very reason that everyone was obliged to him and would not dare to stand against him, but contrary to what he had expected, the panchayat stood in favour of his aunt and surprisingly it was Algu, Jumman’s best friend who took the decision. After this incident, Jumman considered Algu as his enemyand a treacherous fellow. He thought of him as a deceitful person. On the other hand, Algu did not feel guilty about his decision, because he knew that the roots of a stable friendship lay in our abilities to do justice and be critical of our friend. Algu knew that there was sanctity about the panch. Whatever he spoke would be treated with the same respect as the words of God. Once a man takes the position of a panch, he cannot afford to be partial. As a judge, there are no relationships, familial or friendly ties or biases, no subjective or emotional considerations. Justice should be objective and unprejudiced. If a man becomes a panch, God speaks through his lips. It is a position of great social and moral justice. The person who stands on such a pedestal understands it and can’t resist it. This realization was seen in Jumman when he was given the chance of solving the dispute between Algu and Samjhu Sahu. Eventhough he wanted to take revenge on Algu for what he had done to him, but when he was chosen the panch, his conscience overpowered him. He realized that whatever he would utter through his lips would be the words of God and falsehood would be swept away. Hence, he concluded his decision in favour of Algu, which was a just and morally correct decision and that is when Jumman’s notion of blind loyalty was also wiped away.

Theories of distributive justice need to answer three questions:

What goods are to be distributed? Is it to be wealth, power, respect, opportunities or some combination of these things?Between what entities are they to be distributed? Humans (dead, living, future), sentient beings, the members of a single society, nations?What is the proper distribution? Equal, meritocratic is, according to social status, according to nees, based on property rights and non-aggression?

Distributive justice theorists generally do not answer questions of who has the right to enforce a particular favored distribution. On the other hand, property rights theorists argue that there is no "favored distribution." Rather, distribution should be based simply on whatever distribution results from lawful interactions or transactions (that is, transactions which are not illicit).

This section describes some widely held theories of distributive justice, and their attempts to answer these questions.
