What is the theme of Premchand's story "Panch Parmeshwar or Holy Panchayat?"

As was
mentioned in the previous post, the central themes throughout the short story examine justice,
responsibility, discernment, and friendship. Both characters, Jumman Shaikh and  Algu Chowdhry,
exercise discernment when they are given the responsibility of being Sarpanch, which is the head
of the village council meeting. Despite being close friends with Jumman, Algu places justice
above friendship by deciding in Khala's favor. Jumman is initially upset at Algu's decision and
plans to seek revenge for losing his case. However, when Algu is taken to Panchayat by a
deceitful and callous man named Samjhu Sahu, Jumman has his chance at revenge by being named
Sarpanch. However, Jumman cannot resist his duty to enact justice and rightfully rules in favor
of Algu. After the Panchayat, Algu and Jumman become friends again. Throughout the short story,
both characters understand their responsibility to excuse friendships and bias in order to enact
justice during the Panchayat.
