Description
"The Shan States which mentioned with several terms in monarchical periods was the integral
part of Myanmar Kingdom since old times. Feudal lords of the States had practiced various
types of administration with their preferences in their respective areas under Myanmar kings.
The kings of Konbaung dynasty designated the Shan States into three parts viz. Northern,
Southern and Western Shan States for the convenience of central administration. Albeit the
Kings assigned Myanmar officials to supervise these designate areas, they did not interfere in
the administrative and judicial affairs of the local chieftains as possible as they could. When the
British annexed the whole country after three aggressive wars, Shan States also fell under
colonial rule. Initially, the new rulers continued to allow the local chieftains to practice feudal
rules if they pledged to submit to the authority of the colonial administrators. Then they formed
the Shan States as federated one for their administrative convenience and excluded some areas
to put under their direct control. Moreover, they also tried to apply their judicial system to
overwhelm the feudal judicial practices by extending some laws and acts that they applied in
India and other parts of Myanmar. In this contextual situation, local chieftains did not lose their
privileges that achieved under Myanmar Kings, but the traditional judicial system distorted
under new administration more or less. This paper is an attempt to examine the changes in
judicial system of the Shan States under the British colonial rule."
