Corruption for Maniyakaran (village headman). For the service of headman of a village. Example: The 'Monigar' lands were sometimes acquired through corrupt practices by individuals aspiring to become the village headman. Alternatively, they could also be granted legitimately for the services of the village headman. This term highlights the potential for corruption in the allocation of land grants and the dual nature of the term, referring to both legitimate grants and those obtained through illicit means.
