We read that Jumman and Algu were good friend and Jumman's aunt requested for a monthly allowance
from Jumman after she transferred all her property to him. When mistreated, she decided to go to the
panchayat for help Now let us read, what happened next-
The panchayat was held the same evening under an old banyan tree. Jumman stood up and said, "The
voice of the Panch is the voice of God. Let my aunt nominate the head Panch. I will abide by her
decision." "The Panch knows neither friend nor enemy. What do you say to Algu Chowdhry?" the old
lady announced. "Fine," replied Jumman hiding his joy over this unexpected piece of luck.
"Chachi, you are aware of my friendship with Jumman," said Algu. "I know that," replied the aunt,
"but also know that you will not kill your conscience for the sake of friendship. God lives in the heart of
the Panch, and his voice is the voice of God." And the old lady explained her case.
"Jumman said Algu, "you andlare old friends. Your auntis as dear to me as you. Nowlam a
Panch. You picuratare equal before me. What have you to say in your defence?" "Three years
