Summary Jumman Shaikh and Algu Chowdhry were good friends. They were very good friends that when either of them went away from the village the other looked after his family. Jumman’s aunt transferred her property to him. One day the old lady spoke to Jumman that she is no more wanted in this house so she want a separate kitchen

She demanded a monthly allowance so that she might set up a separate kitchen for her. The old aunt went to every house in the village to seek support. But the most of the villagers either laughed at her or advised her to make peace with jumman.

Jumman was happy over Algu’s nomination as head panch because he was his friend and there was chance of the decision going in his side. Aunt said ‘God lives in the heart of the Panch’, it meant that a Panch has no friend and no enemy.

As a head Panch Algu said that Jumman must pay the old aunt monthly allowance or the property would go back to her. At this verdict Jumman became Algu’s enemy and thought of taking revenge.

Algu had sold a bullock to Samjhu Sahu who starved the animal to death Algu had sold a bullock to Samjhu Sahu who starved the animal to death. When Algu Demanded the price, he became angry and refused to pay the money. Algu had to approach the panchayat for justice.

Algu knew that Jumman had become his enemy after the verdict he had given in favour of the old aunt. He had a fear that Jumman would try to take revenge as head Panch. So his heart sank and he lost all hope.
