c8.s4.t5.1

In addition to the High Court of Judicature, which we have examined above, there were a number of local courts in the provinces and districts. They were generally located in the chief towns of the different administrative districts: janapadasandhi, saṁgrahaṇa, droṇamukha, and sthānīya. Three judges and three commissioners conducted the cases in each of these courts.⁴
