Hint: These sentences are taken from the Chapter - Fair Play. The chapter narrates the story of two best friends who encounter tough and difficult challenges that either strengthen or weaken the relationship.

Complete answer:
Let us look into the answer of given question:
1. “My wife knows best how to run the house.”
Jumman said these words to his aunt because he was shameless and tired of her.

2. “But is it right, my son, to keep mum and not say what you consider just and fair?”
The aunt of Jumman said these words to Algu. She went to Algu for assistance but Algu had rejected her appeal politely. Since Algu was friends with Jumman and couldn't go against him that is why Algu didn't want to go to the panchayat.

3. “What do you have to say in your defence?”
Algu said these words to Jumman. Algu was made head Panch by the aunt, and he asked Jumman about his aunt's mistreatment.

4. “I can’t pay you a penny for the wretched beast you sold me.”
Samy Sahu said these words to Algu when Algu asked for payment for the bullock he sold to Samjhu. Within a month, the bullock had died and Sahu declined to pay for it.

5. “Victory to the Panchayat. This is justice.”
Algu has repeatedly said these words in front of the village. He was pleased that, despite the enmity between them, Jumman had not deviated from the direction of justice.

Note: Moral of the story: It's moral is that when we are a judge we have no relations like for example when we are monitoring the class we should not see whether the person is our friend or enemy we who should always write all the names of students who are talking. So now we know that the moral of this story is justice should be always equal.
