| "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." |
