c19.s3.18

"A dispute between Pilaji bin Atmaji Ambare, and Sambhaji bin Krishnaji Ambare, in regard to the Khoti of Chirani in Tarf Khed of Taluka Suvarnadurga was without authority decided with the aid of a Panch by Ragho Vishwanath Ganpule, a Karkun attached to the temple of Shri Bhargavaram, and a document bearing the seal of the deity was issued by him. His brother was therefore taken to the Subha and was called upon to account for Ragho's conduct. The matter having reached the Peshwa, a pardon was given to Ragho, and his brother was ordered to be released."⁹ The decision by this informal Panchayat was also ordered to be revised.
