Question
Describe the Mughal Administration with reference to the following:
Administration of Law and Justice
Solution
The Chief Qazi was the principal judicial officer in the realm. He appointed Qazis for the provinces. Justice was administered by Qazis, Muftis, and Mir-adls. The Muftis acted as advocates; they interpreted the Muslim law. The Mir-adls drew up and announced judgment. Fines could be imposed and severe punishments, like amputation of hand or leg, could be inflicted by the courts without any reference to the Emperor, but capital punishment (death penalty) required Emperor’s sanction. Above all these courts were the Emperor himself.
