| Abstract : Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris |
| This research aimed to compare and contrast the principle of justice present in
Periyapuraanam text and Malaysian Judiciary System. This is a qualitative research, in which
hermeneutic approach was conducted towards the Periyapuraanam text and the Malaysian judiciary
documents. The texts analysis were presented based on the themes and discussed concerning the
similarities and differences between the Periyaapuranam text and the Malaysian judiciary
system. The events in relation to the justice were observed through the history of 10
Nayanmaar and one Sivanadiyar. The findings indicated that there were many similarities and a
few differences of the justice principle between Periyapuraanam text and the Malaysian principle of
justice. The events were classified into 9 criminal cases and 2 civil cases. Components
such as judiciary knowledge, vast experience in judiciary, trials before
sentencing, methods of summoning by the plaintiff, defence by the defendant, proven evidence,
judgement and the compliance to the judgement seen in the Malaysian principle of justice are on par
with the ones found in Periyapuraanam text. In terms of differences, the identified ones include
technological use, jail sentences and punishment for the cruelty towards animals and
death sentence for certain crimes. These indicates that the principle of justice is
general and inherited. Overall, the findings proved that the principle of justice is strongly
practiced and adhered by the people regardless of the time periods. Ultimately, this
study implied that the literary texts such as Periyapuraanam can also
be a source for people’s perusal to obey the country’s laws in everyday life.
