British collectors were appointed for each district and an Accountant General was also appointed. Unreasonable fines were done away with and restrictions were placed on the raising of rent. Judicial Reforms The judicial powers of the Zamindars were abolished. Civil and criminal courts were established. Two appellate courts were established at Calcutta, one for civil (Sadar Diwani Adalat) and one for criminal (Sadar Nizamat Adalat) cases. The criminal court was to have an Indian judge. Muslims were to be tried according to their law in the Koran and Hindus, according to Hindu laws. A code of Hindu Law, prepared by Hindu Pandits was translated into English. He also came down heavily on the dacoits in Bengal. Trade Regulations Hastings abolished the system of dastaks which were misused by company officials and traders earlier. He enforced a uniform tariff of 2.5% for Indian and foreign goods. Private trade by company officials was restricted. @Mrunal Patel @Unacademy UPSC
