What the people say
after the session ends.

"

I came to the panchayat with nothing but my father's old receipt and my word. The patwari brought the map. In three sessions it was finished. Eighteen months of fighting with my cousin — over in eighteen days.

Sunita Bai came to the depot herself. She weighed the grain in front of everyone. Nobody had done that before. The depot man could not argue. My complaint was not ignored — it was answered.

"

My husband's brothers said the land was theirs. The panchayat heard both sides for two sessions. Then Ramchandra ji asked each of us to sign the consent. We all signed. Nobody went to court. My children have their inheritance.
