The *śreṇī* has been defined by the *Mitākṣarā*² as the court constituted by traders or artisans including men of different castes but pursuing similar means of livelihood, and the *pūga* as the court constituted by men of different castes and occupations but inhabiting the same village or town. It was ruled that if an appeal was lost the appellant must pay double what he was fined by the lower court.
