Even today, the prominence of jaat panchayats and their arbitrary decisions is visible in cities like
Pune and Pimpri-Chinchwad. In one such case, a 26-year-old man was boycotted by community members on a diktat of the jaat panchayat after he failed to pay a Rs 15
lakh fine imposed by the panchayat over a family dispute.
