FAQs

What kinds of proof are prioritized here?

Practical indicia of transactions (vyavahāra-upaliṅga) and plausibility checks via the source of wealth/enjoyment, alongside assessing whether the accuser can realistically sustain the claim.

What governance problem does assessing the accuser’s capacity address?

It deters frivolous or extortionate accusations by ensuring the complainant has standing and resources consistent with the asserted transaction.
