Solution

Yes, there is a way by which they could have settled this dispute in a peaceful manner. Mohan should have gone to the Patwari first and got the fields measured. Mohan could have even gone to the Village Panchayat and asked the members to see to the matter of dispute. There are records that show who owns what land in the village. These are called land records. All these records remain with the village Patwari.
