Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Humanities and Social Science - Year 2018, Vol 23, Issue 8
Abstract
Traditional Judiciary is found in many tribal and small self-regulating societies, have survived and adapted to the cumulative impacts in establishment of the modern state and its national legal system. The primary role of the Traditional Judiciary is to maintain peace and harmony in local – usually village – communities. In practice, they often exhibit a distinctly restorative character in the management of disputes and conflict resolution on the basis that parties will have to continue to live together in relatively tight-knit and interdependent social settings. The modern administration of justice, law and order is a function of government retained by the tribal traditions of age old. It is within this realm that indigenous justice systems exist. Although there have been many efforts to limit the jurisdiction of traditional tribal justice systems, they retain the authority to determine the legal structure and forums to use in administering justice and to determine the relationship of the legal structure with other governing bodies. Among other tribes the Tiwas (Lalungs) are aboriginal tribe in North East India known for their traditional court Pishar system. This paper provides limelight on the traditional judiciary of the Tiwas rather than detailed expositions of complex, diverse and evolving informal systems. It is for dealing with conflict and disputes resolution at community levels.
