Solution
Law and Justice: Akbar regarded the speedy administration of justice as one of his important duties. Chief Qazi was the foremost Judicial officer in the realm. He nominated Qazis for the provinces. The Qazis were believed to be just and impartial. They tried both civil and criminal cases. The bigger towns had their own Qazis. The villagers settled their disputes through the institution of the Panchayat. Above all the local and provincial courts were the Emperor himself. He was ‘the fountain of justice and the final court of appeal’. The prisoners were kept in forts.
